I finished off the restoration this weekend with the rebuild of the speeder shelter.
I sketched out the dimensions of the outside wall and framed it in using scale 2X6.
Then I sheeted it with 2X8. A bit overkill with the lumber sizes but it still looks the part. all the lumber was stained with an A&I wash
I glued the wall to the foundation and used some 2X8 as roof joists.
I finished it off with Campbell roofing shingles. I decided not to weather them so it would contrast to the office shingles. This way it look like the lean-to was built later.
And this was the last piece of the restoration. I'll probably add some more details like figures and cars later.
Here's a few last overview pictures as well as some close ups.
