My BOTW is a Fire Station I painted about 5 years ago, one of the first buildings I did.

Nice weathering on that fire house, especially the worn and chipped paint on the bell tower woodwork!

AHM Railroad Hotel UNassembled!
Many others have used this
Heck I even saw it as a Western Union Telegraph Office one time
This would be good in a Old West town in the 1800s or even up to today!

This is a small tweak, about the limit of my modeling skills, of this AHM theatre
which is named for the theatre in the Five Points section of El Paso.
Generations of El Pasoans enjoyed the air conditioning before AC was a
house hold item while losing themselves in the silver screen. Like the real
Pershing Theatre, it was serviced by street cars. It was named after Jack Pershing,
the Army General who pursued Panco Villa into Mexico during the 1911 incursion.
Part of a trolley module that has since been destroyed by my @#$#$ cats.

TYCO Lighted Colonial House:
Mine came in the box that has a photo of the house on the front, so it's probably from 1975-1976. The bulb was burnt out, according to the eBay description, but that's not a problem for me! :D
Might make a driveway for the house, though...

I love all the retro stuff this week!
JNXT, how did you paint the mortar in between the bricks? The whole building looks great btw.

My method is to paint the wall with something that will look mortar-like first - I think I used Floquil Dust or Aged Concrete. Floquil is good for that because it "flows" well into the mortar lines. Then when that is dry, I dry brush the brick color, as well as variations so it doesn't look too uniform.
