Car Dealership and Service Department

SH Steve HOGR Forum Member

I have slowly been working on these two structures.  The auto dealership is a Walthers Crazy Kens that I named for my son Zane.  I hate the tabs that you see in the orgininal kit so I trim the interior to hide all of those seams and tabs.  Kit is stock just added details and painted it.  I took a resin kit that was supposed to be an Advanced Auto part store and changed it into the service center with matching brick paint scheme.  I know it is not realistic to have the entrance way come through the shop but just didn't want to do all the cutting to splice in a front entrance.  The detail parts are berkshire valley.  This is going to be a module for the Fort Pitt HiRailers.  Next step is to build the parking lot.

Steve,

 

  Great work! Looks just like the small town dealerships of old.  I spent over 30 years in dealerships, and it actually looks a lot like the Chevy/Pontiac dealership I ran in Ubly, Michigan until 2005, except I had 2 service bays.  Please be sure to post more pictures when it is installed.

Thanks Guys.  Farmer Bill, both are sprayed with Testors Battleship Gray which is really a bluish color.  I then randomly paint the bricks with Polly S Pacemaker Grey, D&H Grey Grimy Black and Aged White.  The I use Roberts Mortar which makes the mortar process so simple.  Normally I use an ink wash but I wanted this to look newer/kept up.  The  Roberts product takes the washes really nice.  I paint the foors individually by the tile as well.  My wife shakes her head thrughout this processes wondering where her patience-less husband finds the patience?
