Nicely done! Scale lumber makes my hands twitch so I really admire anyone who has the patience and craftsmanship to assemble such a structure. The results are certainly worth your efforts! Nice weaterhing along the bottom side of the walls and stalls too!

That's nice.
Who makes the kit? I'm trying to work out what goes in the stalls - no doors so not horses, not dirty enough for coal. ?

Actually it is coal, but I still need a lot more weathering.
The kit is Fenimore Bros. Coal by FOS (www.foslimited.com)
Nice work. :thumb:
I've got a few wood kits in my "to do" stack. Pictures like that get me itching to try one.

Jesper,
That is an excellent structure! I love the paint job and weathering! Mange smuk! :thumb: Craftsman kits have come a long way since I did a couple back in the 70s. AMB (American Model Builders) has a small branchline depot that I'm working on. My Lady says it's really cute.
ops: I like it because of its diminutive size (small floorplan perfect for a shelf layout).
Med venlig hilsen,
James

Nicely done! My first craftsman kit was also a coal dealer... I really like the weathering along the bottom of the main building.
For a cheap coal-like substance, try dollar store aquarium gravel in black. It is a bit oversize, but works well.

I managed to get a little bit done yesterday while wify was watching the Oscars.
Andrew, thanks for the tip, but this kit comes with a small bag of coal so I am gonna use that.

That looks nice. Another choice for more coal if you need it is aquarium charcoal for filters, or go to the junkyard and get a GM charcoal cannister. Both these are easy to make smaller with a hammer if need be. FRED
