Dave-

I am at DD-11 in the Orange Hall, right across the aisle from Angela and Bob.

Here is the 7-story version, both clear and translucent windows. The Cameron Apartments building is up against the Pickwick  Hotel prototype building.

Looks Great Doug!

We’re on to painting the Corrigan Station elevations. Here’s what the brick looks like with one window stuck behind just to see if we are headed in the right direction. The Walnut and 19th Street elevations are being painted on the same palettes, along with the bridge pieces. There will be five of these “sets” produced in the first run along with two more Walnut Street elevations. Two sets will have clear glazing and the other three sets will have translucent glazing. The extra Walnut Street elevations will be glazed per the direction of the buyer.

From a modelmakling standpoint we are doing something different this time around as the cast stone is much more compleicated than the brick on this building. The brick is getting painted first and will be masked out tomorrow morning. Then there about 75 frame and detail parts that will be added to each Walnut + 19th Street set. Once the detail parts are attached, the cast stone color gets airbrushed on. Lastly the brick is unmasked and we’ll see what kind of monster we have created.

The picture was taken outdoors with fresh snow and sunlight brightening everything. The actual color is a bit darker. There is a base coat and four textured oversprays on the brick.

Here’s Corrigan Station, the Wanut Street 5-story elevation shadowbox, flanked by a 5- and 7-story version of Cameron Apartments. We’ll have the 19th Street elevation shadowbox up tomorrow night. Interesting that Corrigan Station takes a bit longer to assemble than Cameron Apartments. Any takers for the 10-story versions? And yes, for an extra charge the window loevers can be shown in an open position.
