QuoteThat looks terrific Mark!

Thanks, Bob!

The next section of the wharf will be largely under cover so I have used some Campbells scribed decking.  I used the same weathering and distressing techniques.  The colour came up fine, but you don't get the variation between boards like you do with stripwood.

Cheers, Mark.

QuoteMark, wharf and decking look very nice.  Good color to the wood.
Hope Daisy heals quickly!

Thanks, George.

I'm happy with this Golden titan buff as a colouring (and as a substitute for Floquil grime).  I think after doing the process a few times its best to give the wood a bath in leather dye and alcohol first, and then the sponge and paper towel wipe second.

Daisy is doing well.  Its a struggle to keep her quiet!  I try to remind her that she has just had major surgery, but it seems to fall on deaf ears!

Cheers, Mark.

Thanks Curt and John!

Our Easter convention is looming so I need to make sure I'm prepared for that as well. As well as the layout tour I'm giving a talk - something along the design/ composition/ use of mock-ups line.  I also suggested I might run a structure special interest group.  I've been to four NZ conventions now and there has never been one.

Cheers, Mark.

Thanks, Dennis!

Its been a lot of fun so far.  I think its the most complex structure I've ever attempted.

Cheers, Mark.
