Hey All,
Have a couple items today...First is the steps I used to do the brick walls.
The first photo shows the Bragdon used brick applied
The second photo shows the different dry brushed colors added.
The third photo shows the single bricks colored in here and there.
The final photo shows the wall with the Bragdon mortar added, and complete.
Till next time...

Gutters/downspouts and their attachments are often overlooked details.  They (and the brickwork) look great.

Hey All,
Have a couple of items today, First I got the shingles done for the Boiler house, they are BEST trains 3 Tab shingles. I colored them with a off black color, and dry brushed with a light gray, and dusted with brown, and black chalk. Also got the foundation sections done. What a pain it was cutting 1/8 strips of castings. These are colored with a light gray base, and spotted with raw umber, yellow ochre, med gray, and raw sienna. Then given the black wash for the joints. Random dry brushing was also done on these.
Till next time....

Hello All,
So I finally got all the windows done, and I have started to glue the walls together. I got the far end building all braced, and roof supports put in. Here are pics of the sections roughly put together. Till next time...

Loren,
Just catching up on this thread.  Really like the brickwork on the boiler house.  The clapboard walls are great, IMO you have really captured the look of a wood factory building.
