    Looks great Tom.

    The whole building looks fantastic Tom, the weathered siding is right on and I'm loving that roof, everything looks so good together. Looking forward to following your next stage.

    I had intended to photograph the walls for the Repair Shop laying flat, but I got so engrossed in the build I forgot to photograph them, so here they are assembled albeit sans the roof.

    Love the color of the siding!

    Great work Tom, the corners are nice and tight, weathering is great and I'm with Brett...love the siding treatment. Foundry sign is well done and nicely faded and worn. Watch your height on the signs on the front wall on either side of the window. They appear to be, if I calculated right, about 6-7 scale feet off the deck. In addition, once the porch roof is installed they may be hard to see that high...just a thought

    I like the rather bleached look of the wood. Nice work !
  • TomMich
    Thanks for the nice comments guys. I have enjoyed weathering and detailing the wood siding, and building board on board.
    Ken, Now that I have the porch on I think I am OK with the height of the signs. I was worried I would place them too low and they would be obscured by the details.
    Here is my progress to date.

    Nice work Tom. I appreciate the subtlety of the shading under the eaves.
    Kudos.

    i agree, it's looks so real.
  • brownbr
    Red and white structures should look good together.
  • Joel
    Looks great, the weathering is really well done.

    Tom,

    I agree with Bryan's comment... "red and white structures should look good together."

    Can you give us a quick "sneak photo preview" of the red and white buildings together?

    I am just getting to the point of joining the buildings. I am following the instructions so as not to mess up and will post photos of the two together as soon as I'm done. Here is the Tempering Shed. Tempering Shed Front Resize

    Tom,

    I understand your desire to follow the directions thus not joining the structures at this point so as not mess anything up now that you have come this far. Looking forward to the photo when you share it with us. Because you have these three structures near completion you have to be getting excited to see them together in a photo as well.

    The weathered tar paper, overhead garage door and battens of the tempering shed look great. When this structure is added to the others it will give some great contrast and interest.

    As it turns out one of the next steps was to glue the 2 buildings together, so as per the requests to see them together here they are.

    The next step is the Tempering Oven.

    It's a nice detail and one in which is colored primarily with chalk. It took me a little playing with it but I finally arrived at results that I'm satisfied with.
  • Joel
    The buildings look great and the contrast in colours works extremely well. The brick colour is fantastic and the weathering superb.
  • sdrees
    I second what Joel said about the color of the brick, Fantastic!
  • brownbr
    Love the brick work
  • kebmokebmo
    i totally agree.
  • TomMich
    Thanks for the comments. That little oven was fun to paint and weather. Now here are the 3 buildings placed together.

    I tried to replicate the water stains running from the water tank pipe that Ken described in his wonderful build. I played around with it and thought I'd better leave well enough alone before going too far and mess things up.

    Now on to the stone walls. Here they are after painting ans weathering.

    I really like the way you did the stone. Can you go over your process for painting and weathering stone? Thanks. Phil
  • kebmokebmo
    yes please? i'm going to be working on the stone walls for the rr camp in a little while and love the results you achieved on these, they look great.
  • Joel
