downtown-deco-dd-1009-warehouses  The photo of the builts models on the kit box 20190216 060001  After assembling the walls and spraying a light coat of flat white primer. 20190216 061629 20190216 083139  Masked to paint the concrete areas.
20190216 091903  After painting the trim bands 20190216 105049  I'm going to light the interior on the side with the windows so I painted the interior walls flat black. 20190216 102854  and I added support ledger boards for a floor. 20190216 125242  A 'wood' floor printed on photo paper.
20190216 124620  After applying Roberts mortar. 20190216 132523  Testing the door/window/frame colors.  I don't like the light gray door frames. 20190217 064713  After applying a dark wash to tone down the light/white mortar. 20190217 064721
20190217 102623  I tried using the "Diamante Shipping" stencil provided with the kit however it failed miserably.... 20190217 102754  Ready to spray the sign stencil.... 20190217 111937  The stencil bled horribly. 20190217 114141  Making lemonade out of lemons.  I cleaned up the sign as much as possible and then put a light coat of the building's base 'Toffee' color on top to create a 'Ghost' sign.
20190218 063107  Adding lighting 20190218 092446  The LED produced very blue light so I painted it with Tamiya "Orange Clear" acrylic paint so the LED would produce more incandescent looking light. 20190218 102516  I renamed the business "Todd's Tomatoes" wholesale produce distributor.  The roof pieces are just sitting without glue. 20190218 102525  I mounted the Tood's Tomatoes sign on 12x12 wood posts to project it out from the ghost sign.
20190218 102551  The ghost sign turned out pretty good. IMG 5859 IMG 5863 IMG 5860
20190216 044240  The second (boarded up) warehouse building. 20190215 154534 20190216 090839 20190216 091915  After base paint colors
20190216 130159  After initial Roberts Mortar applied. 20190216 130337  After wiping excess mortar. 20190217 064748  Starting to work on painting boarded up windows. So far it's a big failure. 20190217 113149  I put a light coat of "Khaki Tan" on the window boards and then a dark wash.  The boards look much better.
