I'm probably going to use this as a machine works which it is patterned after.It will be situated next to my stream and am toying with the idea of a waterwheel,but still a good way of.

That looks good! The interesting shape reminds me of a former stamp mill in Stillwater MN that is now a popular antigue mall.

Hey guys thank you for all the incouraging words.
Yes, Jimmy the bug has bitten me.I hope that all the time spent sitting on the fence will be worth it,I've read and looked at as many samples that I could get my hands on.
Lighthorseman, as for the size I have all the small structures I could use so now I need to fill in specific areas.
Robin you told me you use acrylic paint but do you hand paint or do you airbrush? I want to break up the big expanses with something any ideas? the wood siding idea will have to wait for the next structure as it is to hard to match the window openings now that all is glued together.

A great looking roof belg. The structure is sure coming along nicely. I use brushes to paint my structures . I do have an airbrush but my compressor isn't hooked up at the moment but prefer brushes as I usually have two or three colours going and just mix and blend to get it looking like it has weathered. Some of these old structures had advertising posters that you could put in the open spaces. Beer and tobbaco ads were seen everwhere as was coke.
