Looking rather spectacular Tom!

Your tile caps and tar paper flashing both worked very well.

Cheers, Mark.


Mark, cheers,

Thank you for stopping by, the support is appreciated.

I really like those shingles, I can't wait to have a go at shingles again, after my first failed attempt.


Steven,

Thank you, the shingles were easy but the ridge caps were a bit "testie". When you do your shingles just be patient and it will all work out.

A wonderful build Tom.  This is going to be a beautiful scene when all is complete.

Jerry,

Thank you as well. I'm looking forward to getting it in place and watered down, er, watered in!

I'm going to call this build finished. However, I do have a little more weathering and details to add. The main structures overall are complete.

This was a fun build and it turned out much difference than I originally had in mind. This happens to me when I start to kit bash, I just never know what the end will look like until finished. I'm very pleased with this finished look.

This goes to show that even though this was a relatively simple kit, you can change it into a major build.

I appreciate all the followers and comments.

Unfortunately, 90% of this detail won't be seen.

I used AK Interactive Slimy Grime Light for the pilings and the water scum. I used a separate bottle and mixed a thinner wash for the stain.

Tom this was a great build. You are definitely a artist. The slimy green is a perfect color.
