so far so good. After I took the pice I noticed that the one casting was missing I think it fell out.... but the main supports are 1/8 x 1/8 stock and the siding is 2 inches x 3/4. the cross braces are ho scale 2x6 with nbw castings . the door was mode with scrap 2x6s and rivet for the door handle. please comment.. thanks for following along

sorry for the bit of a jump on this build. I forgot to take some pics.
the roof was capped and dry brushed with a cream off white then A&I. additional 2x6 braces with out castings. I wanted to add the castings but when all was glued up I was unable to use pin vise in spots. I should have drilled and casted first prior to gluing lesson learned. the bulk for the spout I did not want to look like wood so I primed and painted with a iron based paint the used tamiya weathering system. the weights that came with the spout detail kit I did not care for for I used small black round beads ca glued in place.then I added a trap door to the roof.  I have a few touch ups and need to paint and add the ladder and a chain to the spout. but the is where I stand as of now thanks for following
