I made some more progress today on the Mackenzie Build.  Here is a picture of the small structure after the A&I step.

I then added the barn red using the Brett Gallent wet brushing technique.  Here is a picture of the pallet card, the brush and the paper towel I used to remove most of the paint.

John, do you thin the paint or is it as it comes out of the bottle?  Looks great.

The paint is right out of the bottle.  I need to put a warning label on this, though.  Wipe the brush on the paper towel until you think you got all the paint out of it. Then, wipe it across the structure.  I'm using about a 3/8 inch brush.  It took some practice before I was ready to do the real structure. The bottom line is a am really liking this technique. For the builds on the layout that will be in the run down or slightly run down state this is my technique of choice.  Again, credit goes to Brett Gallent of SierraWest who taught me the technique at a Narrow Gauge Clinic a few years back. Brett also has a video of the technique on U-tube - at least it was there a year ago when I decided to freshen up my recollection of the technique.  If you go out and find it, please post a note or link here so everyone can find it.

Superb, the coal bins are awesome.

Thanks, I'm trying to figure out what I want to do for shingles right now.

So here are a few pictures of the Mackenzie Milling main structure walls after the signs were added and the wet brushing technique was used.
