C. A. Gotts Wholesale Fish Part I

2 Posts in 1 day?  Whew...... Here's a project I've been working on, among many.  It's not really a kit bash per say, but a joining of 2 wood structures to make 1 company, the C.A. Gotts Wholesale Fish company.

       

Kit 1 is the Rabbit Hash store.

It's an  Ok structure, but there's a big

 difference in the quality of the pieces

between the  2 kits.

Kit 2 is the tool and Die Company.  This kit

has better wood, thickness wise and

the instructions were much better.

  

Starting the Tool and Die, using the

Micro-mark framing jig.

Rabbit Hash was the one I did first.  The sign is

too dark.  The building is sitting on a pink foam

base and then I used the self-adhesive wall

material.  I left out the right side windows

because it's where the building's will adjoin.

Here's an overhead shot with weathered and non-weathered rolled roofing material.  I use extra strength Elmers "Blue" glue stix to attach the roofing material (which is just the dark gray construction paper included in the kits).  It's really easy to use.  Simply slide the roofing strip along the face of the paper and lay it down on the roof.  It's really tacky and can be moved around if the placement isn't right. It goes on blue so you can see that you have covered the entire piece of paper, but it dries clear and is paintable.  I dry brushed the roofing after it was all laid out.

More to come.....
