Darden Mill - CCK

I've been flooded since last spring with build requests from area MRRs, but I've told them I need October to finish this gem. So finally...

The foundation is artist's matte board with paper brick facing. I braced the strips of board and set to framing them up to match the building's footprint.

Looking good Dave!
     Where did you get the brick paper? (who makes that)- The bricks look really good....

Dave K. Very nice modeling. I am going to get the last O scale. I have an HO that I'm selling (different kit). From what I understand, I will be buying from a quality seller.

Nice Modeling Dave.

Thanks, Curt. I was starting to run really low on various rattle can browns, so I didn't get as much color variation for the shingles as I'd like.

Gotta darken that ridgecap.

The big roof gets rolled roofing...heavy black scrapbook paper beat to hell with a sanding stick. From now on I'll stick with a darker gray rather than jet-black.

The dock canopies were distressed the same way. For weathering I thought I'd try alcohol and powders, which some of y'alls have recommended.
