Hi John S. & Dick:

thanks for the compliments and following along. Walls are assemble for the Fuel Depot. Here's A Photo. Walls are Depot Buff With Zinc Chromate Windows & Door. A&I is applied to both along with dry-brushing of a light gray.

Great colors. Are you still using floquil or is there a good substitute for depot buff

[PRR Modeler]

I use Tamiya Buff.

Hi Dick:

Yes I used Floquil on the walls. I do not have any Tamiya buff. I will check it out if I can find A place that carries it. Thanks for the tip Curt.

Karl, nice weather-worn look to the walls, without getting into decrepit.  Weathering is so much fun I sometimes overdo it, myself. You have a good eye for just right.

Hi All:

Decided to do something totally different with the roof on this one. Instead of shingles I applied corrugated metal roof by paper Creek Models. Hope it looks OK. Next is the porch and barrel plat form and other scenery.

I Love it!!!!!!!!!! I love the way you can make it so rusty and natural.....Dennis

[Opa George]

Fantastic roof, Karl.  Rich variety to the rusted panels and the contrast with the roof cap and fire barrels is really nice.

Very nice Karl.

The roof looks great. I have used paper in the past and while it looked great in photos, I thought it looked flat in person

"Paper Creek" had great products!  It's a shame that line didn't continue.  I color the edges of the corrugated panels with a dark grey (not black) artist marker, it covers the white paper and helps set off each panel.
