Thanks for the comment I spray every thing with gray primer for consistency. For rust I sponge on raw and burnt umber then add a lighter rust chalk here and there

Dick,

Very well done. I'm assuming that the "rust" mentioned refers to what I call "dirt splash" at the bottom of the walls. The rust on the sliding door looks great.

Finally getting to play again. Wife had rotater cuff, bicep tendon surgery. And I found out I have prostate cancer. It's been a pretty crappy couple of weeks. but she's sleeping through the night and I found out yesterday that the cancer has not spread. It's considerably happier around here.

windows are glazed and glued in. shades are post it notes. and walls glued together. The rollers for the doors fell off. I crawled around until I found them . I think Ill wait on that or better yet use some super glue.

I started the roofs. This is a standing seam roof and the raised ribs are pressure sensitive laser board. I did the first one on the bare cardstock and later thought they might stick better on primer. It seems a little better. Need to find a good dark green to spray them

Dick, the Homer build is looking really good.  I like the rooflines--they add a lot of interest. Sorry to hear of the health issues that you and your wife are experiencing. Hang in there.

Another note on the raised seams. Be very frugal there are barely enough. I used my small off cuts and just had enough.

all the ribs are on. really went fast with the pressure sensitive adhesive and the scribed lines on the sheets  Primer gray then tamia olve green It's kinda bright but with some weathering it should tone down nicely It's much darker than the photo The photo is what Im shooting for

The kit comes with stone foundation. It is only about two feet tall however. for rail height I need more like 48 from the ground. Downloaded a texture of a stone wall and glued it to some balsa. I used a fine awl to trace the borders of the stones. I hit it with some chalks and a little dry brush. I'm not too crazy about the color but for a proof of concept I'm happy.

Looks great, I have always been a bit leary doing this type of roofing but yours came out looking right on the money.
