Yellow Box Kit Grain Elevator
Posted by tomkat-13 on Monday, May 11, 2015 9:57 PM

This was an $8 swap meet find that I used gap filling / gel super glue, gray primer, & dry brush & powders to weather plus extra parts from my scrap box.

Looks good!

You've been busy, shopping and putting together.  I need to do some of the latter, but summer work outside season has arrived.

Thanks for sharing,

Richard

Nicely finished, Tomkat.

I still remember trying to get my Black bart Mine to stick together, despite not having a clue about soldering. I think the modern approach makes these kits much more user friendly, even if you do know how to solder.

These old school kits work great with a little detail.

Even in 2015, you can drive around and find abondened buildings.
