Dixie Garage, Carolina Craftsman Kit

I have not been posting for over two years, and the main reason is I would rather spend time modeling than posting about it.  Therefore, don't expect any detailed descriptions, as not much time or thought is going into posts going forward. 

 The parts of the kit.

I am adding a garage door to the back wall, so I cut an opening using the front door opening as a template. 

I am using the scrap piece to fill in the old window opening.

I applied paper printed studs to the inside wall when the wall could be visible through the large doors.

The back patch came out pretty well.  As I recall, I used the rubber cement method for the pealing paint.  Dab some rubber cement on the siding before the finish coat of paint, then when the finish coat of paint is completely dry rub of the rubber cement.

I used a decal for the "GAS" sign, but all the others are printed on paper and glued to the building.


There a wood stove below the chimney, but it has obviously never been used, since the chimney is clean,

The truck cab is from Sylvan, and the bed and winch were 3D printed, as were the barrels, rusty fender compressor, gas bottles and wall fan.  The scuppers and downspouts were 3D printed using copper infused filament, and were weathered naturally using salt and ammonia. 

Thanks for looking.
