Here are a few pictures of my attempt at improving the Coors Brewery. It took about an hour just to get it dismantled. I painted the brick and then used spackle for the mortar lines.

John,
Very nice. What did you use for the gray stone on the side of the loading ramp, maybe that came with the building?
Tom
The gray stone came with the building. I did the mortar lines with spackle and then used an India Ink wash to darken it a little.
Very nice job John!
I finished lights and rewired the smoke unit so I can put it on a separate switch. No problem with 12 VDC making enough smoke in the first picture. I wired the element separately through a buck converter and settled on 6 VDC. 17 LEDs and smoke and only drawing 400 ma. I’m waiting on decal paper to try my hand in making logos. Any advice on making inkjet decals will be most welcome.

This is my Scratch built Polystyrene, Schaefer Brewery. I used computer generated paper signs with double stick tape on the brewery. The Dugan's building and truck I used Decals but I had a hard time matching the color on the building so you can see the outline of the decal. With smooth surfaces the paper works good, if the surface is rough like your brick surface, the decals fit the contour better. Print the decal a little darker. To conserve decal paper I try to fill a sheet or make sure you cut off the excess straight so you can use a smaller sheet in the printer for your next project.
How many different Brewery's are out there??????

Genecm,
Stuffy's and Schaefer Brewery's are cool, but....
What I want to know more about is the statue in the middle of the town intersection! Like, who's being 'honored'? And, how did you make the 'marble' base structure??? (Or, perhaps, from what discarded item was the statue's base structure rescued???)
THAT's something I could use in my own town intersection!

It's a war memorial in a park in Holyoke Mass. I'm not sure who is honored but Iind out if you like.
The monument is made from Precision Board ( a dense foam board used for signs) I photographed the monument and copied it using the Precision board. The figure is an O Gauge figure, I cut her arms to fit and used Bondo to sculpt the body.
