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.
