I still have a couple of signs to add to the lean to shed walls but I consider this office finished.

The wall in the top photo looks bent, it isn't. It's the angle of the photo.

Top notch modeling Tom. You never fail to have quality modeling.

Curt,

You are very kind and generous and thank you for the compliment. I'd rather build a structure than run trains.

Looks great Tom...I really like the weathering, particularly on the roof.

Nice little build, Tom.  I also think the roof is especially well done. Better than the typical black tar paper roofing.

I added the second coat of green to the stucco and let is dry overnight.



Pool guy is here, back in a few. He looking to get paid.

The roof panel was cut from the cardstock template. I wanted to get the center line on the back to make the scoring to bend the cardstock.

I drew red lines on the template as shown.



I then replaced the roof panel back into the slot and drew the center line of the opposite side as shown. This is the line I'll lightly score

The roof was glued in place. I painted the edges of the roof panel to cover the bare cardstock.



I painted the chimney with Floquil Gun Metal and while still wet I dusted it with Bragdon powered chaulk.
