    Hi all, I received a small package this morning.

    A plastic kit for an O scale house that I found on Wish com.

    I've started the build of the kit.
    This is the box art:

    It's actually a very uncomplicated kit, but it has a lot of potential!
    The contents of the kit, it seems to be made of ABS. It glues well with MEK.
    [​IMG]
    The walls are shiplap siding, but in my opinion a bit too plain.
    [​IMG]
    I decided to add some wood grain on the planks.
    [​IMG]
    I use an Xacto blade to scribe the plastic.
    [​IMG]
    I scribe with the side of the blade, when it makes nice corkscrews of plastic, you got the right technique.
    [​IMG]
    While I was at it, I decided to add some nail holes and plank ends.
    [​IMG]
    I measured a framing on the surface with 2' centers.
    I embossed the nails with a tool I made using a wooden handle with a sharp compass needle mounted in it.
    [​IMG]
    I used thin plastic cement (MEK) to get a really good joint.
    I had to fill some joints after gluing the main structure together. I use correction fluid as a filler.
    [​IMG]
    I primed the structure with grey spray primer before painting the walls with an old wood color. That makes the walls ready for paint.

    I started painting the walls today.

    As the walls already was painted with an aged wood color, I started with the chipping layer, a thin layer of cheap hairspray to prepare for the weathering.

    I then mixed a light greyish green color using acrylic paints from AK.

    I airbrushed the walls with a thin covering layer.

    [​IMG]

    Let the paint dry for an hour (don't wait too long).

    I then chipped the paint, revealing the old wood underneath.

    That's achieved by moistening the dry paint with water (don't overdo it...), letting it soak for a few minutes, and then gently removing the paint with a toothpick.

    [​IMG]

    The text was painted on the wall with a hand cut mask that I very lightly airbrushed with a light green paint (just enough to see the text).

    I then painted the letters by hand with a #1 brush, adding the serifs and shadow.

    Are these kits from EveModel NEW? I am getting ready to order some in N Scale, but I am getting the 3 different already painted ones? They look really nice for the price. Think I want a White one to and Try and paint it? And how long to get yours from China? Very nice professional work, looks great! I am guessing you got it on eBay from China? Looks like the pieces fit together really well according to your video?

    Did some more on the kit.
    Painted the foundation, shingled the roof and added a fire platform.

    There's a bit more to do, but it's getting there....

    This kit was a real enjoyment from the beginning to the end.
    It was fun to see what parts needed extra details or alterations.
    Totally recommended!

    I made a sign for the front entrance. Cardboard and wood with decals from micro scale.

    Touched up some areas as well....

    I'm really satisfied with how my wood blocks turned out.

    [​IMG]
    Some bits and pieces on the floor as well.

    [​IMG]
    The chimney was made by covering a balsa core with cardboard bricks.

    [​IMG]
    Added flooring in the office.

    Now it's only some interior detailing and lights left to do.

    He is, my 3 N Scale ones are just default. It's how I roll :) His work is amazing and it is O scale too! Although the scale doesn't matter for a talented person, which is NOT me!

    Thanks! :)
    I'm blushing...
    I painted and slightly modified a figure to handle the block and tackle.
    I also made a load of an oil barrel for it as well.

    It looks quite alright to me.

    Thanks!
    Final weathering is done, the roof got a light weathering as well.
    [​IMG]
    I modified a standing Preiser figure to make him sitting on the bench on the porch.
    [​IMG]
    He got a newspaper to read as well.
    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]
    I made a ladder for the roof.
    I rebuilt the block and tackle into four ropes instead of three.
    [​IMG]
    Now there only are things left to do at a later time, such as the lighting.
