JENSEN INTERLOCKING TOWER by skill level 1.55
Kit: Fos Scale Jensen Tower (kitbashed)
Scale: HO 1/87
Comments: Original kit had Hydrocal “brick” walls which ended in disaster (I hate epoxy!).  So, I designed new walls out of wood clapboard and cut them out using a Cricut.  Doors and windows from Tichey Train Group.  The bump out was part of the kit but added my windows.  Roof was a Hydrocal casting which I added “tar paper” but not before it cracked and had to be glued back together.  Chimney was from the spares box. Added real copper flashing but the oxidation did not go well. 
Paint:  Walls painted with craft paint.  Tamiya rattle can paint.  Vallejo. 
Weathering: Oil and India ink washes.  Pan Pastel with other weathering products. 
Turned out to be a struggle but fun!

My next "creation" won't be ready next week, so somebody else will have to step forward and keep Doug company....
