SUNDAY SCENIC SHOWCASE 2-2-2014.....It's Groundhog Day!

Okay to start off again this Sunday I hope, I did get the house I showed last week stripped this week. Took 2 coatings of Easy Off but it came off relatively easily. Removed the roof for ease of restoration and repaired some areas that needed it. I then primed in with a spray bomb of Rustoleum Auto Primer. I decided to make a foundation and cut some foam board to fit the building. I will cover the foam board with plastic sheeting strips of a rock pattern that you see lying there waiting for the cutting board. I found a piece of scrap that I will be making into a cellar entrance which you see in one picture sitting there to get a perspective, it will be made smaller.  The house will be white, with green window and doors. I plan on leaving the screens on the porch the primer color, trimmed in white I think it will look good. I will add a porch swing and have started adapting a park bench for the purpose.

Let's see what y'all been doing besides getting ready for the Super Bowl and hunting groundhogs! I'm tired of winter!

Paul,

That house is great.

I have been working on a train shed for forum member POPSRR. He sent me 5 wooden train sheds. I put them together and added sides and roofs and added a 32-inch long end section with a flat roof. The building is comprised of 4 sections. I am getting ready to install the lights.

Here are some pictures.
