    This is really some first class work Stephen. Grain, color, tight fit joints.... just incredible.

    Colouring, construction and weathering are perfect Steve. I cant really say any more than that, except, I'm just enjoying sitting here watching your excellent work.

    thanks everybody for the encouraging comments

    Steve, I love to see the purlins instead of a solid sub roof. I am considering doing that with my truck repair. my only worry is that the roof might not be strong enough to be removeable. Great work on the mine Randy

    Flawless construction again Steve, grease/oil stains are a nice touch.
    So well done.

    Steve I love the texture and color you've achieved. Great build so far.
  • sdrees
    Thanks Karl, Ken and Joel Brett for you encouraging comments. The texture really shows up very well in photographs, much better than with the naked eye it seems.

    Okay, I have completed the walls for the hoist house.PXL_20220308_000650000.MP

    The faded paint looks really good. Darker at the top and dirtier at the bottom.
  • kebmokebmo
    walls look great!

    What brand/color red are you using on the walls for your build?
  • ALCOALCO

    Steve I agree whole heartedly with Bryan
  • sdrees
    The paint color is Delta Barn Red that I purchased at Lobby Lobby. I thought that after the initial wall treatment it need the darker paint at the top so I dry brushed some of this paint along the top of the walls. And thanks everybody for you comments

    It looks fantastic! Thanks, Reds can be so tricky. So many versions and shades. So many of them end up with a magenta or purple tint that I really don't like.
