The Freight House by FOS

The Freight House is one of the FOS monthly kits. Like few others from the series that I have built it has gone through some changes as well. I moved the "bump" to the other side, reversed the back, replaced the brick foundation with the cut stone, and the regular painted tarpaper roofing with the Paper Creek weathered tarpaper. My favorite part of this build though was that the kit didn't turn into another shelf orphan and got done in reasonably short period of time.

Company House by American Model Builders Pt.2

The earlier post on this kit says I had been working on it back in 2016. At some point after posting I glued the walls together and put the roof on. That was the state the building was in when I re-started working on it.
The original was a company housing unit. I changed it into the office building, added a couple of lights, a few signs, and the shutters to the front of it. One shelf orphan done, yet many more to go.
