Title: Speeder/tool shed
Post by: ak-milw on December 24, 2013, 02:31:54 PM
I will be building a speeder/tool shed based on the JL Innovative Designs' East Junction kit. There will be a few changes, but I always like the look of this structure.

I have the wall blanks cut out and adding end caps on the walls. Also starting to cut out the doors and windows.

more to come, hope you follow along.

then joined the two sheds.

Andy you really got this one going pretty fast.  Very neat work.

I assume your going to paint it now that the walls are all together??

Thanks guy's!

Jerry, This is going on my Milw. Rd. layout, all their sheds were a nice boring gray. I will paint it after the windows and doors and trim are on. Everything one color.

Windows and doors installed, now for some trim.

Well Andy I guess you can't wrong with the color.   But good info in case somebody brings it up I'll know the right color.
Looking forward to seeing how this looks with one color.

I brushed on the gray paint and gave it another wash of A/I, and I just couldn't leave off some signs.
