Been puttering along painting the roof. This took quite along time using many colours as seen in the pallet of paint and bottles setup.
Here is a before pic just to show how much colour went into the roofs. After I give it a relief wash I can do some dry brushing and put the trusses back in over the freight, which I had to remake after pulling the other ones out to do the roof.

I really like it Lynn . I like how you can see the staining but it is very subtle , not in your face so to say . The color fits the structure and compliments the walls . In an earlier post you had said that you were not real happy with this project . Now that it has been colored up , are you still not happy?
 
I am much happier now Jim . What you state is exactley the effect I was after , you can see the variations but not in your face. The relief wash should bring it all togethe rto give a nice cedar shake look.
 
With the building just about complete I found a larger bottle for my A/I , something easier for dipping into.

Stripwood cut up to 16 foot lengths and dipped into the A/I and ready for laying out the 8x8 beams for foundation. Wasn't nearly enough 3x8's.

One board at a time Jim.Just have the signs left to do on the Station and I'll be about ready to get back to the layout.
 
Chugging along with the Station. I need to run out and get some 150 grit paper and flatten out the bottom of the building so please excuse the teeterage if thats a word. I now need to tackle the lamps and signage.

Holy hell batman that looks outstanding! But a lot of work you put into that thing.

So time back to layin more track? Not sure where you left off.
 
Thanks guys for the vote of confidence. I wasn't real happy with one of the roofs being out of whack so I'm taking another 2 steps back to make it right.
