Curt--looks good . I have not yet tried the method for weathering rolled roofing that is illustrated on the FOS video. I've watched it as well and was a little hesitant to try it, but you show good results even if you had to go back over with more weathering powder. My current kit has several large expanses of rolled roofing, so I think I'll watch the videos a third and forth time to be sure I'm doing it correctly.

Thank you Karl and George for your kind words.

Today I built the shed for the Farrier. About the only part I made following directions was the front. I decided to put sides on and a full roof to strengthen the shed. That is officially the end of construction for this kit. I kept track of the hours building this (first time) and today I hit 65 hours.

Tomorrow I will take a set of overall pictures.

Thank you Jan, Tom, Jim, Dave, Greg, and Mark for your kind words.

Today I added what details I could before placing the structure on the layout. The exterior shed details will be put in on the layout.

Those details look familiar  ;) , love it Curt. Are you going to give the little people a bit of a wash, really makes them look more realistic.

Thank you George and Jan for your kind words.

Jan, I had never thought of that, but I gave them a A&I bath.

I'll post a picture when I have the siding complete where my last two builds will go.

Thank you for your kind words Jeff and Jim D.

I continue to prep the siding. The next step is laying out the roads and parking lots.
