Thank you all.

Mark, the stucco is spackling compound. You can work it with a wet brush and remove lots of excess to thin it down. Just smear the spackle on with a putty knife and then wet down a chip brush and pull the excess spackle off of towards the edge. I mask the missing portions, before I start, with torn pieces of painter's tape. The render coat is stippled paint.

Don't quit!  ;) There are plenty of mistakes. Some I hid with weathering or well-placed details. Some I can plainly see when I look at the photos.

Rich glad to hear you're feeling better but ease into those 1:1's; you wouldn't want to mess that leg up.

Rick thank you.

Gary thank you so much.

Philip thanks. The 3D LP prints are from Rusty Rail and they are reasonably priced; I ordered 4 more to include in and around the Shop.

Dave thank you. That would be a novel idea.

Rich thanks; I've enjoying building this one.

Fantastic details. No trace of glue like all my stuff.
