Hi All:

Main building walls are painted, Weathered and assembled. Our sign was kinda becoming unreadable so we had the sign painter come over and redo it so the customer's could read it. I'll leave it up to you guys. Do think it should be weathered or leave it as is?

Looks great so far.

looks great Karl!  I am always partial to weathered signs....

Great coloring and weathering. Regarding the sign, feels like a little weathering might look good surrounded by those nicely-weathered walls. But then I always love weathered FSM stuff.

One question -- maybe just my eyes or an optical illusion, but are any of those double-hung windows above the doors on the long wall upside-down? Looks a little like the lower sash is out further than the upper sash.

Hi Vince:

OK I will do some dry-brushing on the sign to tone it down a bit. No those are 6 Over 4 windows. The sills are on the bottom.

Looking great, Karl.

I'm for weathering the sign too.

Cheers, Mark.

Looking good! I agree about the sign - a wee bit of weathering is in order.  FSM and fresh paint just doesn't work for me. But it's your build and I only have 2 cents to give.

Jim - those cardboard boxes in the third pic are excellent. How do you make those?
