Looks great Ron. My vote is for a couple day extension since he has been occupied with his wife's health.

Ron I know for sure that Monroe Hobbies has Ash Gray, Medium Gray, and Grimy Black. I'm sure there's others in the Gray and Black range but these colors I use.

Howdy Ron, I feel your pain.  I had to go to therapy after the livery stable build.  Hang in there.  The battens look fantastic.  Have fun, mike

Thanks Mike, I'm not ready for therapy yet, but I'm really close.

I'd be inclined to cut Ron a break.  April 15 doesn't have the same ominous deadline for Canadians than it has for US residents...

Thanks Dave, I had to look up had to look up what April 15 is in the States.  Our Tax Day is April 30th.

Ron the buildings look really good set in place. Details are the fun part but they can be very time consuming so Kudos for sticking with this project through completion.

Thanks Larry.  Rather than get overwhelmed with all the details that need to be painted and placed, I going to do it in little bits, won't seem so overwhelming that way.

When I bought the Bragdon weathering powders many many years ago I also bought the following;
     - Soot
     - Grimy Grey
     - Used Brick
     - Lime Mortar White
     - Weathered Brown
     - Dark Rust
     - Medium Rust
     - Light Rust
     - The Blues
     - Old Yeller
     - Green Grunge

I use these all the time and are my go to weathering choice.

Actually the door isn't missing a handle, It was installed backwards.    One door was installed in the completely open position so you can see the handle.

Nice progress, Ron.
