That's the look of the wood. I decided to paint the base colour using a dark tone....
Now I must decide which colour to paint the general view.

Neat looking metal roof.
Need to look some references for the paintwork. I'm looking for a aged one ::)
Wood looks great. Interested to see how you finish the metal roof.

Great start.....I'll be watching. 8)

I started to work on the weathering.
Needs a lot to do yet!! Filters, washes and pigments...
And the roof! I haven't found the correct way to paint it. All the attempts finished not so good :(

Hi Jim.
I mixed turpentine and acrylic paint using a brush.
For the weathering I used pigments, washes and enamel filters to reduce the white colour.
Hope this help!
My turn! ;)
"Mooney"....?
I'm building a craftsman kit by Bar Mills with the same name....
Is there some related "connection"?? ??? ??? ???

yeah... there's a connection
so you had a oily watery mix with the paint ? So it stuck in some places, but the oily spirits made it not stick in others?

I don't mixed the turpentine and the acrylic on the same can.
I just used the same brush. First I soak the "walls" and wait for some seconds. Then I used the same brush quite dry to apply the acrylic colour. (Do it softer than you can). The turpentine makes the rest...
Anyway, on my "Mooney's" build I used pigments and adhesive mask to produce the peeling. Maybe there it looks more real and softer.
On this one I'm Looking for an aged building so I tried that option to see how it turns.

Ok! There is one....
I hope to stay on the forum for a while, so, if you someday decided to explain it, let me know. ;D ;D ;D
Mmm...forget!!!
Remember I don't painted the first coat of colour using acrylics ???
ok thanks!
