Time to start an actual thread instead of filling up the layout section. So continuing with the house from my old New York and Pennsylvania in the layout section. This first house is is dedicated to RGW Micheal. So onto the pics. I'm getting the rear wall done after scratching another big window frame for the kitchen after finding a small Tichy window for the throne room. Enjoy as I'll be starting on the interior and porch soon.
Nice Vince, I definitely need to get back to building like that! I have the floor plan of the Catoosa Oklahoma Frisco Station, I’ve had thoughts of doing that for a while.
Git Er Done Son Git Er Done whatcha waiting for Dale. Besides Micheal and I are working behind the scenes on getting a paint scheme for this house that'll be of Micheal's choice lol. More to come on that.
So here's a minor update on Michael's place lol. The bathroom window from tichy is a 2 piece part. Well I made it a 3 part piece using a 2nd window frame. As you'll see in the pics it's going to be partly cracked/open. I haven't glued the 3rd frame in yet as I have to paint it add some clear material for the glass then add the open frame. Test fit in the house. More to follow enjoy till then.
And a test fit of rear windows. With more to come hehehehe So got the walls glued together and soon will be starting on the interior lol. Thanks for checking in all.
Final update for the night all enjoy. Added a roof support on the front porch side. Added the roof cross supports also. Somewhere it got a little angle shift in the build and only way to correct it is to start over. So this will not be to noticeable when done. As the floor will take a lot of it out oh well live and learn. Also did a roof test with my test sheet I use for testing paints before painting. Still a work in progress. Night all.
Thanks Dale thought I used my test paint plastic so y'all would be able to see the different roof angles.
Dale I plan on using better plastic and another friend said he'd print up decal shingles from proto roofs. Just to add a little extra when I get to that point. Off to finish up a BN whiteface n scale GP40-2 for another modeler. Toodles.
House is on hold. Just got a Tichy Order for some windows. And they sent me a Catalog oh boy putting a parts list together for more home improvement hehehehehehe. This house is going to be getting some cool goodies.
Ordering direct from Tichy now got a few window item's for Dale's place. Still waiting on the mail to deliver the rest of the part's for Michaels place so I can continue with getting Michaels place done. New windows are kinda cool as they come with clear glass and shades.
So this arrived in the mail yesterday which I had been waiting on to work on Michael's place some more. Toodles enjoy.
Got some windows painted in white trim. Found my flooring sheet so I can do the porch and interior flooring hardwood flooring ya know. Can't forget the throw rugs hehehehehehe. Toodles
So had to re-seperate the house as somewhere I had a cut that was off now onto trying to figure out the cure. Did get a little flooring in and a portion of the porch laid out. Enjoy
Vince, I hope you get your locos painted the way you want. Some great house builds too. We gonna see some cab over Jimmies parked out front?
No Jimmie's more like KW's lol. As for the house shoulda, coulda, measured twice cut once. Now trying to correct the miss cut we'll see how it goes. Thanks for checking in
