Scratchbuilding Dexter's Dead End in Paper -- Part Two

The second building in the FSM Dexter's Dead End kit is the painter's supply company, with a newsstand in the lean-to on the side. I built it from scratch in HO scale using diagrams from the FSM kit. The wood walls are from a barn siding sheet I made from a photo of a local barn. You can download that sheet  here). The shingles on the staircase are from Clever Models. The roof paper is a free download from a gaming site. I've long forgotten which one.

Windows and doors are from my digital parts box.  The roof details come from Fine Scale Miniatures and Tichy Train Group. The ladder is scratch built. The newsstand interior is a photo from the Web. Building the model took about 10 long evenings.

I also made a new sign for the tire company building (Part One).
