More Fairbanks Flagstop!

The finished model is resting on the MR article I used to inspire me through this build.
Here is more on the build of my Fairbanks flag stop...George Dutka 

The trim although spray can painted green got a coating of PanPastel green to better reflect the fading of the green.

The walls also got a coat of PanPastel grey. I used two tones to get a faded effect.

The model is complete. I added a grey tarpaper roof to my model.

Maplewood Flag Stop


I noticed that on the SR&RL Facebook page the group raised the Maplewood flag stop off the ground a couple of weekend ago. Looks better and should last a lot longer too...George Dutka

Fairbanks, Maine Flagstop

The walls are made from styrene but I used wood for the corner trim and supports.
Here are some construction photos of my version of the SR&RL  Fairbanks, Maine flagstop. More to come...George Dutka

My walls are placed on the photo of the MR article I was working from.

Ready to be assembled

Ready for paint. Styrene roof is made. The window and doors are from Grandt Line parts package.

I used some wood trim to finish off the rear window as I seen in a photo I have and posted back in the summer.

Camo Coat green is applied on parts and Rust-Oleum primer is used on walls.
The sign in the MR article on the prototype photo was about the right size. So I photocopied it and used blue chalk around the lettering to get the coloring of the sign.
