Curt,

Great job on the stone cook house and the standing seam roof looks like it belongs there.

[Philip]

I like that beat up look!

[Yannis]

Great work there, the roof is amazing!

Good Afternoon,

Thank you Dave, Rick, Larry, Rich, Mike, Ron, Philip, and Yannis for following along and your kind words.

I finally finished the exterior stairs. I added some additional structural braces and modified the guard rails to what looks correct to me. I also added a bunch of NBW's where the kit uses only 1 on the stairs.

The stair components are colored the same as the structure in a dusty brown and ash gray. The NBW's are from Tichy.

The stairs aren't perfect but they turned out better than I expected.

Looking great, Curt

Dang Curt! Now those are some serious stairs going on there. Very well done.

Howdy, Curt. The stairs look terrific and complement the structure.  Great work!  Have fun, mike

[Mark Dalrymple]

Great job on the stairs, Curt!

They look terrific, and are fiddly little beggars to get that nice.  The NBW castings look good.  (I put nearly 1500 in my large timber trestle, and now, unless I put my glasses on, I can't see any of them!)

Cheers, Mark.

Curt,

You say you don't like doing stairs, but they look fabulous to me! Nice work!

Rich

[Rick]

Curt, stairs look very good to me.
The patch on the water tank is an interesting detail.

[Jerry]

Curt wonderful job your doing on this model.
Great coloring all around.
And the stairs came out perfect.

Jerry

[Michael Hohn]

Looks good.  That's a lot of steps, but they look sturdy with all those nuts and bolts.

Mike

Curt,

The outside stairs, landing and structure looks great.  The final result was definitely worth the effort involved.

[VagelK]

Really, really nice job!

Afternoon All,

Thank you Terry, Larry, Mike, Mark, Rich, Rick, Jerry, Michael, Ron, and Vagel for following along and your kind comments.

Rick I painted the patch with a tarnished steel paint which makes it stand out.

I have been working on a 4 wall open shed that had one side with a floor and the other side dirt but I decided to put a floor on both sides after putting a thin cedar sub-floor on first mainly to give strength to the structure.

I built the wall framing from scale 2X4 and 4X4's. This was followed by individual boards colored with Raw Umber, Raw Sienna, Gold Ochre, and Ash Gray followed by RA.

The shed is supposed to be dilapidated so that's why the wood is distressed in different ways. The roof will be added later.

The back wall is laid down to help take the first photo.
