Materials list includes copier paper, cardstock, matt board, a few basswood strips, and a small piece of 1/4" masonite from the scrap pile. Roof paint is Rustoleum American Accents "gloss colonial red", base paint is Rustoleum American Accents "satin granite", both with an overspray of Rustoleum satin clear enamel.
I edited the graphics using MS Paint to get the windows blacked out (but with random shade heights), cut them and the doors out and pasted copies in from inside to get a bit of depth. The edges of the matt board were touched up using some craft paint from Michael's. The exposed edges of the matt board at the corners was covered using printed copies of the graphics overlaid.
The roof is a piece of 4" x 7" matt board, scored down the middle to get the peak/slope. I cemented a couple braces inside to hold the removable roof to its proper shape. I used a piece of 4" x 7" cardstock cut to approximate the original's embossing, then pasted that on as an overlay before painting.
The station graphics do not have an overspray of clear enamel. I have found in the past that it doesn't provide much if any "gloss" to the finish, and often leaves the graphics a bit clouded.
An approximate replication of Flyer's Hyde Park no. 90, this is the station at Lewis Park, as dubbed by Paul and Howard. My thanks to them for the graphics and plans (available for free on the Tribute to Tinplate site).
