Ashford Mining Supplies


My Atlas Middlesex Manufacturing kit arrived and will make two good sized flats for the back wall.  I'm more impressed by the quality than I expected to be. This is the smaller of the two structures. This is a large kit and I studied it for a while before seeing how to create the two structures I wanted.
The Walls

Windows!! Windows painted with rattle can grey car primer


Front wall - I cut this prematurely along the tower side so stitched it together again!

All walls painted, ready for assembly. I misted rattle can white car primer on this building then wiped on some thin tan acrylic for mortar followed by alcohol weather wash.


A few open windows for variety

After glueing in the windows with a lick of cement I masked the back of the wall and cut out around the windows.  Then I sprayed the backs with craft spray adhesive and stuck on the glazing.  This leaves no trace of adhesive on the "glass". Then I removed the masking tape with the adhesive on it.




Windows fitted
A piece of plastic bracing was added before I glued on the sides, roof and chimnies.

Pretty well complete except for loading dock and the chimney will be higher up the side of the building when planted.
