Moving right along:



Finished the floor this morning. I used a piece of photo mounting board sealed for the base instead of plexiglass; so far so good.The flooring material is 2x10's grained and colored with burnt umber chalks. I did add some shorter pieces of flooring working the ends even more with a wire brush. For all you "naysayers", yes I added nail holes on the floor.



The walls are just sitting there not glued together yet. I do like the contrast between the flooring and the wall beams. When I start placing the floor details then I'll add in oil stain, dirt, etc.





The right end wall did receive another sign while the left two signs. Anymore details will be added to the floor in front of the side walls after the walls are glued together.

Next I'll finish off the six details that will reside on the floor before actually gluing the building together. As always thanks for stopping by with your comments and/or suggestions; they are appreciated.

Don't forget to add dirt/dust in the corners of the floor before you finish attaching everything.

The floor and walls together look outstanding Larry.

[Larry C]

Thanks Dave, I'll keep that in mind.

Jerry thank you. I thought an old, dark floor would be more fitting.
Maybe if you listen carefully you'll hear it creak when walked on.

Curt thank you so much; greatly appreciated.-

Rick and Philip thank you so much.Taking my time on this one.

The detail is overwhelming.

You sure this isn't your real garage in the backyard?
The bands on the fanbelts are killers.

Howdy Larry,

The floor looks perfect for the structure.  Nice work.  The shed looks amazing.

Have fun,
mike

Dave thank you so much for your nice comments; they are appreciated.

Mike thanks. I thought the contrast with the darker floor would look
more realistic.

Progressing at "a snails pace" due to life but here's a quick update:



Added a few more details to the back wall; this is the last of the details for that area. The big "monkey wrench" and vise are from Wiseman primed with black primer then painted gun metal and red respectively. The air compressor is a print from SW primed with grey then colored with reddish chalk and rust colored chalk for the motor portion. Everything then received a coat of A&I to tone it down a little and added a belt from the motor to the compressor. I decided to go with a "well used" look for this item.

Next I'll "dirty up" the floor a little then glue down the rest of the floor details before gluing on the second half of the building. Thanks for stopping on by for a gander as well as leaving your comments and/or suggestions.
