Hartwell tavern main building ready for paint.

 Well, assembled but not primed & painted.


  And the doors work!  The sign is a nice touch. Can you imagine the Concord Militia Company just outside?

The website of  Things in the Basement has a download on painting the kits that gives some tips. I may try some of the ideas.


Second floor, see stair well in back right corner. Chimney has fireplaces on both floors.


The first floor.  Feels like a playful drinking place, or it would be with out some April morning muster volleys...

Side and rear views..Instructions say not to glue the roof on nor place fixative on the upper floors.Keeps them 'in play' if you need it.


And all the doors work!

Now to paint some P-40's for tomorrows game.  A red roof, brown clapboards, white windows next stop!

That is a very cool kit just as it is Joe but doubtless you can make it even snazzier!

That looks like a lovely model Joe, and expertly put together. I'll be interested in your comments as to how easy or otherwise it will be to paint.
This is a handsome tavern.

Jonathan, thank you. The kit is extremely well made.

Lawrence, yes I will attempt to document some of the painting process. Also on the bridge kit as well.

Keith, gonna try to do it justice. I am going to visit Concord late spring, will take interior details down and make a final detail pass after. In the meantime, exterior painting.

Marvellous looking building Joe and top construction work on your part. Some excellent inner detail too, except... where is the bar?!!!
Regards, James

Ooh, impressive terrain piece - looks great!

Dean, Thanks!

James,
Bar? That is part of the research on site. You know, to make authentic.
