Dave,

The details look very natural in the roundhouse. I'm looking forward to the door installs.

I have assembled the other 6 doors, and started work on the hinges.  The stainless tiny tube hinge barrels are all glued on, and I'm attaching the laserboard hinges.  I'll drill through them for NBW castings.

Dave,

I agree, the doors look good green and I'm looking forward to seeing them in place.

Hi Tom:

Ditto on that.

Doors are mostly weathered.  I started with A&I to bring out the diagonal siding.  Then I did Pan Pastel medium gray "ashes" along the top of the door and Pan Pastel burnt umber along the bottom for mud splashes.  I did a raw umber (artist acrylic) wash to work the mud splashes in, and then did another coat of A&I to sharpen the lines and blend it all together.  I'll add some highlights tomorrow, after the A&I is fully dry, and touch up the metal hinges.

Thanks Karl, I was hoping you'd provide some feedback/blessing :-)  I'm a bit too close this to have good judgement.

Hi Dave:

You are quite welcome. You're doing a lot better with this than I probably would.

I'm trying to install one, it's Not Easy.  The fact that my damn superglue isn't gluing very well is not helping!!!  Time to break out another bottle, I think.  Too many independent variables (the L shaped hinge pin has to go vertically from the bottom in to the hinge barrel, and horizontally into the wall, x at least 2 hinges to make it work.)  Frankly, I don't care if the doors move, but I do want them to look like they're hung from the hinges, rather than glued to the walls.

edit 1 down, 13 to go!
