Rusty, what method did you use to get the metal roof to look like that?  Is that done with the acid method?  Mighty fine lookin' structure!  Up front and well done.

sorry for the delay  on getting back to you guys on the roof. works has been crazy. I cut the roofing sheets to size the used pcb etching but did not over do it. just long enough to start fizzing. then I used SophisticatedFinishes in places but not the whole roof then added the activator. I found that if you use a hair drier it works faster and you can see what its going to look like in min vrs hrs. hope this helps  thanks for all the comments. as a new to this type of modeling its a confidence builder honestly thanks guys
