Progress On Fat Lou's

I've finished the detail painting and weathering on the Downtown Deco Fat Lou's Liquor and have also added the wall signs.

I decided to position it with the front facing the front edge of the shelf. But as you can see, while I've figured out exactly where it should go, I still have to level things out and clear the surrounding area up.

The detail painting and signage went much easier than I expected. The basic model should be complete within the next few days. The signs in the kit are Downtown Deco's older style, not actual decals, but printed on thin glossy paper. I cut them out and mounted them on blobs of full-strength Elmer's glue the general size of the sign itself. I squished the signs into the glue and straightened them out, then left things to dry. The glue shrank and pulled the paper signs into the brickwork pretty well. If glue seeped out from the edges of the signs, that was OK, it was invisible when it dried.
