Ken The old saying is I heard it through the grape vine.............Carl

The peer pressure is getting the best of me...between your vines creeping up the walls and Robert's vines on his Dueling Shacks, I added some vines to my BlueSky build!

KKarns

Right on...Anxious to see the completed project...

Love the idea of the holes in the roof. They look very natural.

One thing comes to my mind when I see this. The floor underneath the holes looks very clean. It should show the consequences of the rain , who rusted the corrugated panels in the first place, and dripped for so long on it.

Just an observation.

CarlLaskey

Hi Robert. The holes are in the instructions The roof can be removed and I have a lot of detail work to do on the inside yet.
The panels were painted with Rust-Oleum Camouflage a dark brown color and I had some old powder's laying around so I just dropped some at the top and use a soft round brush and pulled it down. .........Carl

Hi Guy's. The second roof is complete and the rafters are installed on the shed roof now for some tar paper. ...........Carl

Very nice. Great job on those shingles. Great job on weathering.

Carl,

Your work is fabulous.

Robert.G

This looks great so far. But I am convinced that it would look even better if you could take some photos outside in daylight. Artificial light can be a killer for colors.
A very nice build !!!

CarlLaskey

Robert. I will give you a choice the back deck or the bird bath. ...................Carl

Thank's everyone for the kind words..........Carl

Those look like the resin shingled roof castings that came with the kit - if so give them a light wash with ai to highlight between the shingles and add some shadowing. The stone wall casting came out great. Wonderful coloring and definition between the stones.

I think outdoor pics might be interesting....

CarlLaskey

Well i am done roofing for now and I did give the other roof a wash of A&I look any better Bret?

MarkG

Looks wonderful Carl. It really is coming together well.

Thank You Mark for the kind words...............Carl

Looks to be a winter wonderland. Great picture. Diane would love to be there.

Really looks good Carl. Love the southwest look you've given the diorama. Looks hot and dry. Wood pile casting is so well done...among many other details.

admin

Hard to tell in the new shots if the ai wash brought more detail to the roof castings -but... overall it is a wonderful build. The scenery really compliments the structure.

CarlLaskey

Brett i think I will give it one more wash and see . Thank's Carl

admin

There's so much texture and detail in those roof castings - the ai will really bring it out.

CarlLaskey

Any better?

admin

yes, they look darker but it is difficult to compare before/after since the before pics were closer...

Bill

Carl--will a light dry brushing of the edges on the shingles help?

Coming along great. I love the low-angle shot of the loco parked inside.

CarlLaskey

Hi Everyone. A few more of the build...........Carl






I will post the finished build on the other topic
