Building Moscone Bonds by FOS Pt.1

I have made enough progress on the Moscone kit to be able to take some pictures. I used the same Krylon textured paint as on the Gusano. The details look sharper than most likely would have been had I used the water putty or had I applied the textured paint with a paintbrush.
The "painted" sign isn't a part of the kit. Another modeler used it building his version and made the sign available. I thought it would be nice touch to add it to my build.

Campbell Supply Co. Pt.2

Finally, I get to scratch something off of my unfinished kit list. Now I need to find a home for the building. It is taking up a big chunk of the shelf space. The eBay seems to be suitable adoption agency...

Building Chippys Hollow Hardware Co by Fine Scale Miniatures Pt.1

It looks like the summer is back, at least in these parts. That means there will be some interruptions in my model building soon. I was hoping to have Chippys done before the biggest one, but based on the way it is progressing, it looks like there is no chance. It isn't that I haven't spent enough time on it. The Chippys is the tricky one. It doesn't look big, but it has a large number of castings. I am painting them in parallel to the construction, so that in the end I don't have to do them all at once. I hate when that happens which is most of the time.
