Looking great so far. Two questions. On the cedar shakes, did you apply the Pan pastels with a brush or one of the sponges/tools? Also, does spraying the Krylon Flat over the oil paint really help it dry? I'd think it'd make it more difficult to cure as it's now sealed. I like how the standing seam roofing looks and my present build has one, so I'm going to try out your technique. Thanks for the tips.

Hi Jeff,
I use a brush to apply the pan pastels. I rarely use a sponge. I used a sponge when working on a tall chimney from Bar Mills, and some brick work on a SRMW kit. As for spraying the Krylon Flat over the oil paint. I apply a small amount of oil paint, and allow it to hold the weathering powders in place. The powders are already 'drying' the paint, the Krylon merely finishes the job. Of course, if there are 'blobs' of oil paint, the Krylon, or Dullcote probably won't fully seal the surface. Hope this helps.
Here's a picture of my Cundy Cannery diorama with the aforementioned chimney. I did this diorama as 'filler' when I was involved with a SRMW kit. This is also the first time I took pictures of one of my dioramas outside.
