Jim,

The build is looking good. I have one of those trays and magnets but haven't used it yet.

Nice work Jim.  It's looking great so far.  I cut my teeth on Campbell kits.  If I remember correctly the first one I built was "The Sheriff's Office".   :D  A long, long, long, time ago.   :o  ::)  I didn't do a very good job on it but I had fun building it.

Before I start on the roof I'm undecided what type of material to use, the kit comes with rolled roofing. So I have some other samples to look at, tar paper roofing, Bar Mills shingles or corrugated aluminum.

If you want to give the build a real weathered look try more than one - structure started with one type of roofing and was repaired with another.  It works real cool if it fits your time frame and desired look.

I really like that deck Jim. :)  BTW, I always liked rusted corrugated aluminum roofs on many of my buildings on my  N scale layout.

I like John's idea but for one type roofing I would go with Bar Mills shingles.

Thank you for all the comments. For the door and windows I tried Aleene's clear gel tacky glue, a few air bubbles but I'm happy with it. Glued them into the walls and added some much need bracing, the walls warped some. Started gluing the wall together.

Added shades to the windows and glued the walls together.
