Hey Vince:

Glad to have you aboard. Here's a progress shot. Decided on a totally different color on this one. We shall see how it looks.

Looks great Karl, be interesting to see what you do to the signs on the walls.
So you started with the driftwood stain then turned to a different color , so the stain is under the color?
I've never had the driftwood stain but have read many discussions on folks swearing by it and seeking out for it.

Hey Lynn:

Thanks for the reply. Here is a photo of the front wall and one of the side walls. I decided on Depot Buff for the wall color instead of Box Car Red. It very lightly dry-brushed with a light gray. We shall see how it looks when assembled.

As always, your color choices are "spot on".
