It is scratch built but not a car..
Thought I’d start a thread on the construction of my new track scenery project for the Targa Florio. -

Some of you may recognize it as this corner in a small village of Collesano near Palermo in Sicily.
Hopefully I can come somewhat close to the actual thing!

I worked on the raw stone texture on the back of the buildings hand drawing/ indenting the stone shapes with a dull pencil. Windows will be framed in with balsa wood. Stone texture needs to be more roughed up but I think I’ve made a good start.

Here’s a photo of the back side I used for reference.

I took a larger more blunt instrument and further burnished the stone surface to give it a little more depth. Not sure if it will show on the picture but it adds more realism and definition for when the paint gets added.

Thanks guys.
Giuseppe and the roofing crew came over and knocked up a few tiles. -

Nice roofing work. Are those tiles guaranteed for 25-years? 🙂

Spectaculare, bravo paisan! I can almost see Maria and her Beautiful Cannelloni’s singing Puccini from the balcony!!
-

Thanks guys!
Not guaranteed for 25 seconds, this thing would leak like a sieve.
The roof is the most time consuming. That’s about 15 feet of plastic tubing all cut and split by hand. Took about 4 hours so far.
Considering other options.
Maria got knocked up by the roofers when they finished knocking up tiles. Hence the enormous Cannelonis!

…and that wasn’t Puccini she was singing. 😉

Finished the first roof section and base coat applied. Roofing is hard, slow and time consuming. Good thing Maria was around with some Aperol spritzers.

Also making progress on the front side. Windows and doors cut and base coat of stucco applied.

Installed and painted some door framing as well as the first balcony!

F1Nutz,
That building is coming along beautifully! 🙂
Don’t forget the crowd control cop that’s usually leaning on the inside of that corner. You can see him in the first photo.
