I tried....no cash.....but I did get some metal roofing....
OK after a month of screwing around, saving a few pennies here and there...I've got goodies coming, so time to get the structure weathered. I'm using Doc Cranky's salt, baking powder , and liquid mask to finish things up. The wood has been textured with the side of my Zona blade, following the grain. The roofing is "G" scale metal ribbed roofing...the "tin" side roof is a different scale by design..but I think it will work well. After the weathering on the ends was done I taped them and the fascia off and sprayed contact cement onto the wood sheathing and set the panels in place....the under edges were pre painted Tamiya TS 17 and the roof was finished with a blend of aluminum and metalizers....then roughed up.Right now I am letting the glue on the Ridge dry before I wash everything with some India Ink. Once all dry I will post the latest round of pictures!
This weathering is going slow but steady due to what I am trying to do!
