    A small project, finished today: Alexandra's Barber Shop. A DPM kit, painted and weathered. I made the floor in Excell. On the walls, I glued small pictures of American barber shops.

    That's a neat litle project, and the floor is definately a nice touch and an interesting technique.

    Very nice job

    I am now doing a Reid's Book store. It is an absolute pain to do the lintels, sills and frames for the windows/doors. The only way that I can figure out how to do it is by hand after airbrushing the brick.

    I think it is easier to paint the brick last. I rattle can the details and hand brush the brick afterwards.

    Not my original idea; don't remember where I heard it?

    Every time I see that model kit somewhere, I swear it has to have been based on this building on the corner of Main St and Santa Cruz Avenue in Los Gatos, CA. http://www.city-data.com/cpicv/vfiles8615.jpg

    An excellent job! Very good weathering, and the way you did the interior, plus the upper windows gives a great "occupied" look.

    Outstanding!

    Thank you all for the compliments! This Barber Shop will become the first building on a new oNetrak module.
