Starting to look like a building now!

Yeah, I agree.  I do like that shade of grey you've used, too...very suitable for that weathered-wood look. Applause Applause

Like the aging, looks like old weathered barnwood. Thumbsup

Saw an episode of "Barnwood Builders" the other day, where he sprayed new wood with a stain and in a few hours it blended in with the other 200 year-old beams.

I've done that - it works great!!
Also, like my last project, watered down India Ink looks good too.

The side and back walls are done.

The back wall has a hole in the bottom for the couplers to clear through without hitting the wall.

Progressing nicely!

Gotta agree, Thumbsup

Yeah, that's some innovative siding that you're using, too.

My builds are currently stalled due to other commitments, but I hope to get back to them soon.

The roof is on and so is the roof of the awning in the front

RE: N-Gauger's 2020 one foot challenge - ngauger - 04-23-2020

The track is set in place so we could see how this is all going to look when it's completed.

RE: N-Gauger's 2020 one foot challenge - ezdays - 04-23-2020

Ah ha, nice comfy place to rest, looking good...

RE: N-Gauger's 2020 one foot challenge - Tyson Rayles - 04-23-2020

Ballast and paint the track and you will be done!

RE: N-Gauger's 2020 one foot challenge - doctorwayne - 04-23-2020

Well, it's taken me a while to "get it", but I finally see it....an optical dillusion of supposedly big cars in a small building.  Very nicely-done, Mikey! Applause Applause Applause
