Very nicely done Mike, you've really improved the look. I really like the stucco effect on the outside. I think I will have a go at doing that on my layout. Thank you for sharing, best wishes.

Nice job! When I built my Walthers packing plant, I improved the look of the roof by painting it flat black, and then while the paint was still wet I thoroughly covered it in cinders. Once the paint had dried I shook the excess cinders off into a paper towel (and then back into the package). Then I used some diluted matte medium to secure the cinders completely. Looks like an asphalt/gravel roof now! Much better than plain plastic, even if it is painted! I like the stucco look on the outside, too. Very nicely done!

Looks good. Now why do you consider that work an "Americanization " of the roundhouse? What makes it American compared to the original out-of-the-box? I am interested in it as I will sratch-build my roundhouse, thanks!

Hey Mike. Enjoyed this video. I'm thinking I might try a brick face of some sort on my roundhouse, although the stucco in a darker shade might work. Could you clarify what you mean by a "black wash"?

can you give out some info on the styrene material you used and also the stucco material. I'm new at this and any help is appreciated. I just ordered the turntable and roundhouse. Here's hoping !!
@N-Scale
@N-Scale 3 жыл бұрын
I do not remember on the styrene as I had it lying around. The Stucco is simply Acrylic paint with ANY color of Arizona Rock and Mineral powder mixed in to a near paste. Mike

Hi Mike! You did an amazing job on this project! I wish that you would have showed exactly how you applied your stucco mixture to various parts of the structure. To do this, did you use an airbrush or a regular brush? -from Tom Pilling

I used a soft 1/2" brush and brushed on the first coat and then stippled on the second coat. Thanks , Mike
