  Great effect with the missing handle, looks perfect.
  
  I have done something similar as you for the graining on barrels/crates, except I used a minwax stain, I found it more controllable for myself using a small stiff bristled paintbrush for the grain effects.

  I like the idea Karl. I have some walnut stain so might try it.
  
  I really only have the two shelving units left. I am going to try making some waterslide decals and try that approach just to be different. I did it once before with the Campbell soup cans and had some moderate success. We'll see how this goes. I never liked working with Photoshop. The kits labels are great I just want to see if I can make something thinner that works. If not back to sanding these labels.

  This build is very inspiring, as I've been wanting to build up to the installments I have so far. I'm building a module section of my layout that will mainly be a fabrication and foundry section.....2' by 6'.....and I really want to include the SW O scale foundry in it's entirety...

  Bit of a boring update as I wait for my labels to dry I opened up one of my Sierra West detail kits so I'd have a few extra jars and bottles to detail. Didn't quite realize the amazing number of details included. I figure I'll experiment and keep the really good ones for the diorama. Just a base coat of colour and some gloss coat. After this Hopefully I will be prepared for the next 10 dioramas.
