Keep It Rusty

I recently ordered O'Neills Fabrication and the Brass Foundry - my first SierraWest kits. Can't wait to start them now.

Karl, are you using Hunterline stains by chance? The boards do look great. You're making good progress!

Hello Karl, I'm liking your build, although it seems more like a scratchbuilt board by board build than a kit. Great job on the weathering and aging.   Jeff
