Looking very nice Kevin. You're doing a great job.

thanks jim.

I'll echo Jim's comment. Warm tones on the stones..

ALCO · July 20

The depth of the mortar seems to vary from place to place. That’s a cool detail!

TravisS · July 20

Nice. Really digging the color of the stones.

There’s alot of good choices out there for kit building but there’s something special about a Sierra West kit.

Looking good, Kev

yesterday slammed on the brakes for this project. as i was trying to assemble the hand cart, i was reaming the holes for the lever and broke them off. and then i tried to ream the lever and broke that too. the broken pieces launched and i wasn't able to find them. i might be able to put the lever back together, and if i can i'll just use a thinner wire.

A bump in the road. Back up to speed in no time!

Hey Kev wonderful start. Love that stone color.

i decided to skip ahead and start the main roof. i've decided to put the shingles on before doing any staining. i'm going to brush stain silverwood on the shingles, because i can stop adding stain any time it starts to look "just right". it's an experiment, and should be interesting.

kebmo · August 6

i got most of the roof shingled, so i had to give the silverwood a shot. one coat, brushed on looks pretty good;

Indeed Kevin, it looks very nice . Great work !!

TomMich · August 6

Nice color and variation.

Karl.A · August 7

Looking fantastic Kev, I really like the contrast of the warm stone colours against the cooler grey colours of the siding. You really got that silver grey colour down right.

Looking forward to following your work on the shingles.

Keep up the great work.

KKarns · August 7

Wonderful results Kevin! I have got to do a shake shingle roof...you all are on point with them.

kebmo · August 8

got the main roof finished and hatches installed. nothing in the pic except the floor and pump house is glued in yet.
i really tried to get the water tower roof right, but i blew it bad, so i went with the old disrepaired look instead.

KKarns · August 8

Nice work Kevin. Love the stone work. good recovery on the roof!

TomMich · August 8

Everything look good. The roof turned out great!

ALCO · August 8

The “old disrepaired look” is a time-honored tradition in the dio business. Good work!

Howdy, Stranger!
