FOS' Pub Crawl Build

[ACL1504]

I needed to add a ridge cap to the roof. I used a thick mailing envelop and cut a small strip off one side.

I used a small paint brush to apply glue to the inside fold and then placed it on the ridge of the roof. When dry, I trimmed the ends.





More in a few.

Reading Bob mentioned on one of his threads where he used a corrugated paint color for the roof.  I found a bottle of this at Hobby Lobby.



I used a soft bristle brush and painted it on the corrugated panels.

Good job on the metal roofing Tom.....

Hi Tom,

That paint looks very interesting.  I've tried FolkArt's metallic paints, but found them to be rather 'glittery', if that makes any sense.  This appears to avoid that appearance.  Looking forward to how this build shakes out.  Thanks for the pictures and updates.

Mark,

This is the first time I've tried this product, I definitely like it. I doesn't look metallic when applied and certainly no glitter effect.

Thanks for checking in and following along.

I looked in my sign file and thought I'd use this one. Since the Rusty Keg is located across from the roundhouse area, I thought it appropriate.

The sign reflects that women can work a man's job and also if you don't think so then, "Up Yours"!    However, I think she is just showing some muscle.

I decided to not use rolled roofing for the small side roof. I found a small section of Northeastern shingle material.



I simply glued the roof panel to the underside of the shingles and when dry, cut them to fit.

When the galvanized tin color paint dried, I first applied a wash of AK Light Rust Deposit, AK4111, and let dry for a day. I then applied a coat of Medium Rust, AK4112 and finally a coat of Dark rust, AK4113.

When the roof was dry, I cut and added the exterior rafters to the roof ends and added rafter tails between the two gabled ends.


I'm going to really fast forward here and declare the build 98% finished.

The windows and doors were installed, the signage was added, another coat of Hunterline A&I of Driftwood and some random brushing of Hunterline Sepia Brown A&I.

I also noticed I have some spots/growth in the inside of the camera lens. I paid $100.00 for the camera, Sony Cyber Shot, some 10 years ago so I got my monies worth. Time for a new camera. You can see the spots in the next several photos.
