Got Milk?

The roof is made of the original to hold it in place as a removable and a piece of styrene which will be painted and tarpaper added.

My milk platform was a nice little project that did not take long to build. I think it turned out well considering some changes to the kit was made. I found the tabs that hold the structure to the decking did not work well, so I cut them off and just glued it on. Also the roof I feel is quite small for the structure. I made it bigger using the original as the underside that aligns it for dropping in. The new roof is styrene scraps. I have enlarged the roofs on a number of kits. I sometimes feel the companies are trying to squeeze too much into their sheeting. More on this structure tomorrow...George Dutka

Early construction.

Almost ready for stain. Doors are added after the walls are completed.

The structure was coated with India ink and alcohol. I then added AK neutral gray followed by washes of AK slimy gime dark and wash for wood.

The interior is about done. More milk cans will be added. I built two small desks to hold the paperwork.

I added some signs around the structure that would have fallen off milk cars. They appeared to loose their metal signs at times. I also added a station sign for my collection of New England signs. The rust on metal parts are Bragdon powders. Having the door open and roof removable really adds to the look of the structure.
