Cool.   8)  Thanks for sharing Raymo.   :)  I really like the colors and the finish you got on the walls, doors and windows.  This is going to look really sharp when you're finished with it.

A little more progress to show today. I added the brickwork to the 1/8 stripwood foundation and then sanded it down flush

Raymo

I went through my box of spare castings and came up with a couple different chimneys and 2 vents for the workshop. I cleaned up the chimney castings and painted them along with the foundation with some brick colored primer. After they dried,I added some thinned light gray for mortar and an A&I wash. I also painted the stack silver and the top of the small chimney with some aged concrete

Raymo

At this point I've assembled the walls and started to add trim to the peaks of the end walls.

Raymo

I trimmed the stripwood flush with the cornerposts and I added the stripwood to sidewalls to separate the office from the wood shop.

Raymo

With this being a test build, I had to do some "fancy figuring" to make the roofs. I think I've got them pretty close to what the kit has. I also painted the bottom sides and gave them the A&I wash. I glued the workshop roof on but I'll shingle the office roof off the building and add it later.
