There's no way this is going to come out nicely. 'Gnat will tell you I ain't no polytician. I'm trying to offer a minor pointer about nail holes.
Nail holes obviously result from the exterior siding being nailed into interior structural members. I noticed on a couple of your exterior walls that the nail rows stop over a window or door frame.  Structural framing (2x6, 2X8) would run up either side of the door or window opening. Thus, the nail holes would run vertically along side the opening and vertically from there to the top of the wall. Unless you are working with a rookie builder, Major framing goes around the edge of an opening, but would not end, for example in the middle of a window or door frame, unless you had vertical lines from the corners of the windows to the top of the wall. Check the attached link for a better explanation of what I'm trying, constructively, to describe.

[/font][/size][/color]‎. Note where the measuring tape on the photo is pointing. "Put nail holes here". Notice, it's not pointing anywhere in the big, gaping hole directly above the door.
The concept behind your building is great. Just trying to point out a very minor detail.

Going by you posts I ain't seen much of your work other making comments on others but no thanks on your advise.  Sounds like a pc modeler to me. What do you think gnats

I think that we need some pitures of that ChippyBoy's builds!
He probly don't have no nail holes - just bent nails all over the place!

He ain't no polytician, but he ain't no carpenter either!!

I know that someone is going to point out the bare wood in the front window I just noticed it and will fix that

Looks great !!! Don't you love what you find when you take a pic of a build ? I always find something. As for the nail holes ........  well I'll just say I'm with you and gnat

The build looks great. I don't see the point on the nail hole issue. Yours look like they are on 16 inch or 24 inch centers which is typical construction. The holes around the windows and doors would typically be covered by the moldings. Keep up the great work and keep posting.

Hi Rusty:

This is just a suggestion. I try not to use black paint on large parts as its not very pretty nad can hide detail. I only use it on very small parts when necessary. As I said just a suggestion.
