Randoph & Briggs Update #2

Steps to complete this update are the following:

Step 1:  Adding the Sills

Locate the small plastic bag that contains the little beige Sills (first 3 photos in the slide show)

Use the laser etched lines on your walls as a guide and apply a thin layer of glue.  Apply 4 to the windows on your main building.

Step 2:  Adding the base.

From the photos (4 & 5)  Apply a thin layer of glue to your walls and place on your base.  I like to do this step now so that I can easily hold the base as I complete the next step.

Step 3:  Mixing up the putty.

i)  I place the putty on a plastic bag and mix with a little water so that it is like a paste.

ii)  Add some grey paint to the paste and mix around with a thin paint brush.  (you may have to add a bit more water if it gets too dry and gooey)

iii)  Using your paint brush lightly apply a coating to your 4 window sills and along your foundation (there is a laser etched lines to show the base from the bricks) and on your 4 corners of your building.

After the paste dries you may have to touch up with paint to get a darker grey colour if you wish.

The last 2 photos show the side building leaned up against the brick building to look at the colour I choose.  I decided to do the left side of the building a union army blue and the right side of the building with some red trim and light tan/grey to represent the southern army.  (It should all come together nicely … I hope)
