Built my first structure kit

[mattm]

I found this unassembled, factory sealed Walthers United Trucking kit at an antique store for $5 and figured it would make a good first project. Pretty happy with how it came out. Since I plan to model modern times and this isn't really a trackside industry, I figured a building like this might be vacant and for sale in an older part of town.

Just one thing weather up the sign just a little bit. It has been closed and for sale for a while now. Looks great for your first project, really good job.

I have to agree with David, weather the for sale sign. It looks too new so it seems out of place. Try to hit it with a dirt color or India ink wash to dull down the colors a bit. Nice job though building and weathering this kit.

It is a very good job, first attempt or not.

Good looking building! Wow! $5.00? WOW! Great deal.

I figured the realty company, like a couple around here, has been through so many mergers and acquisitions over the last few years that they have to keep putting up new signs!

Seriously I did plan to weather it a just a little.

Looks good to me, and since it's a "For Sale" sign you could get away without weathering it. Realtors tend to keep their signage looking good.

I learned along time ago when you pickup a structure for real cheap they can easily end up being one of your best builds as your not afraid to go at it with some weathering. You did a fine job there and like was mentioned, the sign could use some toning down.
