Still have to do some touch up - it’s hard to see the big picture when you are painting 6 inches away…
Material used: 4’ x 8’ 1/4’ thick sheet of plywood cut to 3’ x 8’, 1” + 2” brushes, and 4 colours of dollar store craft paints
Little work on the factory today steps, trash can, sign…
took the Canfor sticker from some scrap 2x4s I was cutting up for firewood today….it went over the factory door

I do really like how that factory turned out and it’s getting better everyday.
Dave ~ You might want to check out a piece I posted recently showing a Kalmbach “Kit-Bash” Book that talked of knitting two bakery kits together to form one big industry building.
Between your work here and this article it really has me Jones’n to find a couple of old Bakery kits and grab my model saw and hobby glue!

Dave, how did you simulate the mortar between the bricks? Great looking grimy factory. Looks like it has absorbed a lot of soot over the years.
That BN freight looks like it has somewhere to be in a hurry!
Hi Fred,
Thanks, the mortar is the Tamiya Rubber Black undercoat…
I was looking for NATO Black or Flat Black…but 1st jar outta the open paint box was Rubber Black…
I don’t think it would make a difference at any rate…
3 different craft paint colours were used to cover the bricks…brushed on with a worn pig bristle flat brush…then some dirty enamel thinner and a bit of Tamiya panel liner
Running trains at slow speed is relaxing…
The BN is a capture screen from video…like these below
