Hi All:

Lynn:

As you can see I did away with notching the walls for the bracing.

OK the top haves of the walls are shingled, windows and large freight doors are installed. Next I will assemble and stucco the walls and add the rest of the windows and doors.

Looks great Karl the wall colors look terrific and go nice with the green, I'm about to install the windows today. I take it you didn't care for the idea of notching the walls. You just have to be aware of the flex on the two ends now because of the pretty much lack of horizontal brace.

Hi Lynn:

I added extra bracing. Don't think I'll have a problem.

Walls are assembled. two walls have been stuccoed. They are painted with Depot Buff, Light A&I and dry-brushed with light gray. Then dry-brushed lightly with Depot Buff. Hope they look OK. I straightened the crooked tire casting.

Hi All:

I'm not happy with the stucco color. I'm changing it to aged concrete per the instructions. Will take photos when finished.

I did mine with aged concrete, I found the aged concrete too dark so tinted it , railroad tie brown heavily tinted on the shingles, it is a nice combination. I think your stucco maybe is fighting with the colors with the curtains.

Hey Lynn:

You may be right on the curtain comment. What did you tint the aged concrete with.

Karl

[Lynnb]

Karl I used the floquil aged concrete and the floquil reefer white for tint, I also use methyl hydrate to assist in the flow/thinning.

Hi Lynn:

What is Methyl Hydrate and where do you get it.

Karl

[Lynnb]

Sorry Karl was misthinking, it's http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/lacquer-paint-thinner-0497112p.html#srp it's paint thinner. Replaced my floquil thinner with it, good for track cleaning as well.

Hi Lynn:

Thanks OK I have lacquer thinner.

Thanks

Hi All:

Didn't get much feedback on the the Depot Buff stucco. I change it to the same color Lynn is using. Also per the instructions to Aged Concrete. Hope this looks better.
