Part 1 - Freds Building Fred's One-Stop by Showcase Miniatures Initial building framed out, with a few support beams to control warping until the additions/roof is added  View from other side  More of main building, now with additions and roofing  and from the other side  Still a lot more to go on this kit...windows, porch, car shop, gas pumps, etc. |
Part 2 - Freds Continued work on Fred's One-Stop by Showcase Miniatures, installed the windows, doors and porch. Some of the windows need touching up/realignment and the roof turned out too dark - need to lighten it up some    Still a lot more to go on this kit...car shop, gas pumps, etc. |
Part 3 - Freds Continued work on Fred's One-Stop. Redid all the windows (what a pain) and repainted the roof to be lighter   Then added some trim work, a porch light and some interior lighting  |
Part 4 - Freds A little more work on Fred's One-Stop. Added the rest of the trim work on the house portion and started building the gas station portion. I fixed the broken bricks after seeing the pictures, but I did not retake the photos.   |
Part 5 - Freds Hard to tell from the photos, but I added an interior and lighting to the station portion of the Fred's One Stop kit. I also built the cover and island for the pumps   |
Part 6 - Freds Today was mostly small detail items. Besides attaching the two kits, I added roof rafter tails, the roof sign, the pumps, coke & ice machines, trash cans, etc. Plus I added several signs around the station area     Still to go are the steps and railings to the porch, and the steps, railing and awning to the backdoor. |
Part 7 - Freds Fred's One-Stop is done, as far as construction is concerned. Looks like I have a few light-leaks to fix, and I still need to add figures, vehicles, etc. but that won't happen until it gets placed on the layout, and where I'm planning to put it right now, there is no scenery yet (oops).     |
Part 8 - Freds Created a scenery base for Fred's One Stop.   |
