Hi gang, last week I started to build this funny kit in 0 scale. Is the Yorke´s #103 Brick Store.
I starterd with painting walls with a mix of Humbrol #70, red and yellow. Then with white acrylics paint all the surface, removing it inmediately with a rag, this way I did the mortar lines.
Yesterday painted doors and windows.
Still I don´t know what will it be as a commerce, but I´m thinking to name it as my grandfather´s busines many years ago, was called "La Famosa", a nice place I grew up with lots of remembers with my cousin, the building doesn´t look like as the one I said, but adding only the name it´s all said. It was a pizza bussines and a beer corner in a little town far from the big cities here, the town is Dolores (yes, like the DRGW town!!)
So, this is the progress.
Hope you enjoy.

Hi Lucas, looks like you are off to a great start.
regards michael
I agree...good start. Looking forward to your progress. I was a bit worried when you wrote you were using white for the mortar (usually that is pretty strong/bright)...but it looks like you are making it work.
Say...do you live near Plaza Matheu? ;)
If you follow Avenida de La Plata all the way to the end at the water...is that an old dock, or a sunken ship?
Marc
Thank you guys! I used white and then with black india ink applied in lower parts.
Yes Marc, I live one block to Plaza Matheu. Was you seiing Google earth??
This docks are part of the port of La Plata, there is a shipyard near from it , and two cold-storage plants. It was a very popular zone by mid 40´s with full of inmigrants.
Lucas...It's a long story filled with too much alchohol and wild women ;) ;D ;D ;D....
....yes, I used Google "Maps"...I saw the address on the package in the background of the photo....so, for the fun of it, I thought I would have a look...the only slightly confusing part was figuring out that you lived between 115th and 116th Street/Ave.
Marc
;D ;D ;D Be careful, around Plaza Matheu are some kinds of "woMEN" LMAO ;D ;D ;D
Well guys, here is a prebuild to see how does it looks. Walls aren´t glue yet because I haven´t yet the MDF laser cut windows I design in CAD for the front. Will have it soon, I hope.
I have to work in weathering this brightness door. After glue all walls I will paint the building with a mate coat.
Cheers!

hey guys! this is some progress at the Yorke´s building. I made the exterior floor with an epoxi daugh and the interior is color laser print in regular paper.
Will keep posting.
Cheers

Looking good, I am interested in how you achieved the cracking in the concrete.
regards Michael
Thanks Michael, as I said, it´s an epoxi daugh modeled with fingers. The cracking lines were did with an X-Acto knife, after seeing a couple of pics as reference. Now I´m painting with grey base colour and then will do a wash with black india ink, to give life to these cracking lines.
Looking good, Lucas.....Do you plan on adding interior? Randy
Thanks Randy!
Yes, I´m planning to add interior but not full detailed as I like, right for show something in it. It will be a local post office.
More progress. The roof are corregated aluminium sheets trheated with ferric chloride for give this rusted effect. I airbrushe all the model with many colors as brown, black and white. Finnaly applied a mate coat for fix dust colours.
Cheers

Looking better each time!
take it outside and shoot some pictures, hard to see the detail in this light.

Howdy Lucas,
very nice weathering, and interesting way to paint the walls !
Sincerely!
Lloyd
Lucas, I really enjoy watching your progress...please closeups on sidewalk and doors!....Thanks, Randy
Thanks guys! Randy, here are closeups on what you ask. I have to work in the windows glases tomorrow. Just started to add a little shop in the back. More pics soon.
Regards.

Lucas, Thank you for the closeups!...Could you explain the coloring steps for sidewalk please....Thanks, Randy
Here we go... I will try to explain in my medium english...
As I said the sidewalk was done with an epoxi daugh, after it dried I draw division and breack lines with a knife. Then with an iron brush I made the texture. Finally sand all the surface.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi433.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fqq60%2Flucas_gargoloff%2FBrick%2520Store%2FYorkesfloor1.jpg&hash=229dd32cd708c56f68e32a4824a6f8dd5688df03)
For paint I started with Humbrol dark grey and mixing it with white.
(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi433.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fqq60%2Flucas_gargoloff%2FBrick%2520Store%2FYorkesfloor2.jpg&hash=ad6dc734a6d05201d7101e299707421087568fd6)
Then I applied a wash with black ink and remove it inmediately. As final step I airbrushed with many Tamiya acrylics for give the look you saw in the closeup. Black near the lines and some grey tones in plain surfaces. And different brown tones for all.
Hope it helps.
Lucas
Lucas, Thank you very much for sharing info, always helpful!! On another matter, is the passenger car photo (on the other forum) showing a laser cut body under construction your creation or a kit? Randy
Thanks as always Randy!! Yes, the coach is a laser kit made from me in 0n30. They are coaches of La Trochita, a narrow gauge 30" line in hte far south of Argentina. I made it for me, but with insistence of friends, decide to do it as a kit.
Cheers
Lucas
I´m going slowly last days, but you can see some little progress in the brick store. Am building a back shop (only for personal use). Added a first coat of terrain for changing the MDF base look.

a few weeks ago I found this nice car from Heller 1/43, an easy kit to build and thought was a good idea to test some tips I learned here. Terrain is a friend´s H0 layout I visited last friday.

Hi Lucas, Good to see progress on the store. The shop in back looks great. The coloring on the details is really cool!
Can you give some details on the car please ? What steps you used for the finish? Thanks, Randy
Hey Lucas!
wondered where you were.
Back shop looks good, a little to monochromatic, may be pick out some details here and there?
Not sure what exactly to recommend, may be darken the bench and the traffic areas?
May be some of the artists can make a suggestion?
The size of the ground cover really bothers me though, way too large.
I hope your going to go over it with some fine sand or something.
Lookking good though!

Did some progress yesterday. As I said... It´s a sloooow work, but each time I work on this I really enjoy seeing the diferences.
comments will welcome as always!!
Regards

Hi Lucas, Good to see you back on this, really like the rusted car!! but I'm not sure about the weeds, I think maybe this type of straight material does not look convincing when it is this tall. Maybe another layer of some kinda of plants or grass that are half as tall? anyway...really looking foward to see what kind of signs and posters you use!!! thanks for sharing this, Randy
Let me start by saying the diorama is very good and puts you into a group of advanced modelers.
Now for my personal and subjective observations to try to help you do better next time: Too much grime. The rust is too blatant. The weeds don't work. The sidewalk looks like somebody deliberately painted it with a sooty wash.
What those comments boil down to is: Learn to be subtle.
When it comes to almost anything in art, less is more.
Please use my comments not as negative remarks but as ways for you to improve your approach. You have talent and skill. But all of us sometimes need a colleague's advice to help us improve. Some of my work has been "criticized to shreds" by my modeling friends and I was very grateful (although embarrassed) for their very direct remarks.
Now go build something new and do even better.
Russ
Thanks guys!!! Never will take as negative, I´m learning and you guys are my inspiration!! Lots of good tips are here and few a day, try to look each and read hwat I need to have to do in the next project. I have a stone building, also from Tom Yorke´s, so will keep in mind what you said here.
Thanks again for help me to do better!!
Lucas
