Ditto, Ditto.   or is it Ditto Also.  Either way that is a great weathering job John.

Neat sign.


Thank you Curt - it is the sign that comes with the kit with appropriate weathering.

I completed the walls sections for the Fox Run build today and started putting the subassemblies together.

Yes, I make sure it is clamped absolutely square until the glue dries.

I also got started on the Swankhammer stone walls.  First, step, after the primer, is to fill the mortar joints with the mortar gray pigment.  I use alcohol to get the pigment where I want it and don't worry about getting some on the faces of the stones.  After it dries I get it off the faces with an eraser - and any that remains is covered by the next steps of the process.

I started adding the coloring to the stone faces on this small casting near the end of the day. It all comes together with the big fluffy brush at the end of the process.

Very nice looking stone work.


Thank you Curt. I'm trying to document each step of the process for future reference.

Lots of subassemblies for the Fox Run build on the workbench, today. Next step will be glueing them all together on the baseboard. I will be doing all of the detail work on the workbench on the baseboard.
