Good looking shed.  Nicely weathered.  Great job on those details as well.

Excellent shed! The subtle weathering is very nicely done. Is the peeling paint done with a wet dry brush or the alcohol technique (ala Chuck Doan)?

Thanks everyone!

Craig, this was done with a wet dry brush over boards colored with A&I. I use the Chuck Doan method a lot too, especially with clapboard.

Thanks for posting your progress, Steve.  Your craftsmanship is incredible. What I like the most is the style of your weathering and aging; while everything on your layout shows age and various levels of deterioration, the structures are believable in that they look functional/operational for the purpose they were built.

Just outstanding!

That is a fine job of weathering on those boards.  Nice detail work also.

Beautiful work on the shed...that should have been my first SWSM kit. I came across it at a Narrow Gauge Convention years ago. I picked it up, considered myself lucky to have found it. Decided to take a quick lap and come back if I didn't find something "better". Came back and, of course, it was gone. 

Not letting that happen again. 

Nice work as always.
