    i've kinda run into a modeling wall. i haven't been at the workbench in a few weeks. i'm starting to get the bug to get back down there though, so hopefully later this week. saturday, the mrs. and i spent 4 hours in a kia dealership. we drove away with a new niro hybrid; it's a real nice ride.

    Kevin I know your pain...I've only been in the shop on and off over the past few weeks and haven't posted much either. ....diversions are part of the issue but there are other issues.....I plan to get into the shop tonight...

    How many kits could you have purchased? LOL

    The car buying process is painful. Yet there is so much pleasure with a new ride.

    4 hours, half of which wer spent sitting by ourselves waiting for something, often times we didn't know what we even waiting for. salesman was supposed to follow up with me today and didn't. its a good thing we like the vehicle.

    that's not a decision i'm prepared to make right now. i have to figure out the lighting. for now i just wanna mess with wood.
  • MuddyCreekRRMuddyCreekRR
    I'm stalled with the lighting too....decisions...

    i played with a little wood yesterday. i started on the roof. got my perlins in place and began putting down the wood base. my issue is this: in the very beginning of this build the instructions called for me to mix up a batch of stain, and put all of the wood in the stain for various lenghts of time. what this did was give all the wood a brownish tone. i don't want the roof to be brown. i want it to look like it's sun beaten for a long time, so i did the usual 'damage' to the lumber (i.e. grain, sawbanding, split ends), and then i hit all the boards with 3 silver wood applications, added a boatload of knotholes, and hit them with silverwood again.
    roof base boards pretreatmentb (they appear much grayer in person)

    and then i started attaching them to the perlins.

    roof started with perlins and base boards

    i finished this roof panel last night and hope to start on the other side roof panel today or tomorrow. feels good to be back at the workbench for the first time in weeks.

    Very nice work Kevin. Great to see your work again. I like the ends of the boards. They look very beat up and weathered. Randy
  • TomMich
    Color variations and weathering turned our very nice!

    i lost an entire day yesterday. i woke up at 5 am to let molly out like i do every day, and i went careening into the wall. vertigo again. i spent the entire day flat on my back in bed. 24 straight hours on your back causes pains you never anticipated.....lol.
