Looking great!

Thanks for sharing your build, Karl.

The more I build these kits the more I want to make them look like the landscape I see daily in my part of the country. It's funny how wood and metal weather differently in different areas of the country. Out here where I live metal roofs end up rusting a deep burgundy. You hardly ever see that in craftsman kit pilot models.

Anyway, your model will turn out fantastic, Karl.

Hey Jaime:

Thanks for the great reply. I have to say I've never seen a roof rust A deep burgundy. Feel free to post a pic of one here if you want. Would love to see how it looks.

Hi All:

Got the doors done for the side shop done. All separate boards stained with A&I the each board is dry-brushed with peeling white paint. Hinges are laser cut and are rather fragile. So they take A little time to install.

On to the Loco Shop Doors.
