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!
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.
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
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 !!!
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.
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.
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.

Just an observation.
