I didn't do much last night as My work Bench kept falling apart ...

So this morning I started it all over & I made it to this state .... :woohoo:

I cleaned the edges of the braces .... :woohoo:

Applied some grey areas .... :woohoo:

A little Brown wash and throw it in the corner ... :woohoo:

Then I Finished fire blocking on back wall ........ :woohoo:

I primed the pumps ... :woohoo: And some other bits .... :woohoo:

I then started working on the top of the roof, put in a corner brace And a stud for the roof break ... :woohoo:

That's all, folks more tonight ... :hmmm

Love railroad stuff. Helped build an HO layout with my dad at our house back when I lived in Vermont. Good times.

You gotta build a paint booth for the bench!
A little inside joke that only plastic sniffers like us would get.

Hi Gerry,

You are doing a great job on the framing

Try 'Blacken-It' by A-West. for the white metal castings.
