Hi Bob:

Wonderful build. Structure looks absoulutley Beautiful. See you used the blue painters tape method to fill the corners. A suggestion: instead of using the wet plaster and a putty knife use the lightweigt dry stuff and your finger. It works really well and there is absolutely no mess. Like your colors and weathering. what exactly is Liquid Lesding from Jo-Ann Fabrics? Let me know what it is and what you use it for OK.

Thanks:

Karl

Thanks Karl!  Liquid Leading is something Dave K. turned me on to.  If I'm not mistaken it's sister product to Aileen's Tacky Glue.  It's black and can be used as tar/pitch in place of the Elmer's White Glue/Grimy Black mixture.  I picked up a small dispenser with a tip on it (like the one that come with NorthEasterns Pink Flamingo Glue), put the Liquid Leading in that dispenser and I have tar/pitch at the ready on the work bench at all times in a dispenser that makes it really easy to apply exactly where I want it.

While you're there...  Hal Reynolds said he got a package of 4 plastic needlepoint glue bottles at his Joanne's.  (I didn't see them at mine, so I got them from Amazon.)  I loaded Canopy Glue into one of those bottles, and it works great!  NESL sold similar bottles with their Flamingo Glue.
