John I love your weathering a used building just in deed of a paint job.


Not falling down with boards missing and the roof leaking I'm sorry guys but business just were not kept that way if they were in business.


Question is that a paper towel under ythe parts that you stained??

Thank you for following along and the kind words.  Yes - that is a paper towel under the wood that I'm staining. If I'm getting too much stain from the brush I will put some on the paper towel - I like the streaked look. Each board weathers just a little differently and different areas of the building get more sun than others.

Update:  I updated the links to volume 1 and 2 of this build thread to tie everything together. The links to the older volumes will always be on page 1 of each volume along with the index.

I started the next section of the building while I was waiting for the paint to dry on the main building.

Thank you - the glass is always one of those okay let's get it done, jobs.  I try the acetate sheet and then on the next build I go back to the gallery glass.

John,

You've been busy, busy my friend. The least favorite part of any build for me is the Canopy glue in the windows and doors.

Thank you for stopping by the thread - yes I have been on a roll the last few days.  I actually bought some Canopy glue that I'm going to try for my next set of windows. I have always used the gallery glass glue - I assume it's about the same.  I like the way the windows look when lit with LED's much better with the glue, than with the plastic sheet that comes with most kits.
