Coldwater Seafood Co. Open for business

The roof is another piece of sheet plastic w/
painters tape.  I really like the crinkle texture
of the tape, especially after it's dry brushed w/
some white paint.  it really pops.





Here was the start of the addition.  The wood siding is a
plastic product and the door and eyebrow window is from
my scrap box.  I like to paint the parts, pre-construction
if I can.  It makes for cleaner lines in N-scale.

                      
I added some thin strips of plastic for the seams
of the ribbed metal roofing and it was all painted
silver aluminum.  It'll be followed with some orange,
burnt umber, and white for aging and rust.  


   
Walla!  A new deck with some crate's on it and a dumpster below
I also added some signs, although I'm not crazy about the big
one out front.  The smaller one on the wall blends in pretty nice.
If you zoom in on the photo you can see some pigeons sitting
on the roof and rails of the deck.  Their from American Archetype




This is a view from the east side of the building
where there's a loading dock and you can see the
awning out front.  I think the sign looks to new and clean.
Here's a better view of the west side and dock receiving area.
I added some post and beam construction to this area as well
as a timber hoist that I've been waiting to use.  It's from
Model Tech Studios I have quite a few of their detail parts.
They're easy to finish and add a lot to the scene.  You can see
some of the dry brushed aging and rust spots on the metal roof.



  
Here's another shot of the back / dock side of the building.
I think this is all done.  (At least for now)
