Guard Shacks

8/24/2014

Months ago I went to the West Coaster Toy Soldier Show and got one of these guard houses.


I got my first one there several years ago, shown here with a 60mm Marx recast figure.


I soaked them in Simple Green to remove the paint.


Then I sprayed them with $1 white spray paint from Wal-Mart.


It took a couple coats to get the coverage I wanted. 


 Better two thin coats than one thick one.


Then I painted the guard shacks with Rust-oleum.


Deep Forest Green is pretty close to Olive Drab.


They came out okay I think.
