Amazing detail in there! I too like the curled detail on the roof.

thnx !!!


whell today i got home and the shingles where sitting dead flat , when the glue dryes they settle again
so i took a steel pin and bend some shingle up again , way better now some sit flat and some are curled .. nice contrast ..
also the sanding with sandpaper made them look way more interesting

only need to do the right side of the roof now .. and then start on some rain gutters along the bottom of the roof .. make drain pipes ...

the result of today , just curled some up by hand



a 3 way bracket with rods for the chimney

the roof is done last shingles went on tonight !

also did some tar around the shimney and tar in the corners where the front and rear roof meet , also some mild tar on the signholder ..

finished the rood edge on the right and made some wooden roofedges on the sides (clapboards ??_

now i need to put a killer sign on the roof and add some brackets with some old looking spotlights that pint on the sign ...

first i want to make raingutters along the bottom of the roof now ..







on the wooden centerpiece on the front center of the front roof i added a small flag pole , i want to put a round cap on it , some lines and add a hanging flag (like there is no wind)

oh and check the mild bird droppings

whell did some washes and tied in everything some more ..

weathered the pumps so they look dirty and older , choose not to use rust or grease





made ribbed sides on the building to hide the screws that hold on the roof and also added one on the sign holder

then washed everything with brown and also washed the woodwork a tiny bit

because i only made the facefront of the building i had natural light coming from "inside" so i desided to close it with wood and make it look like it could open , its a display window , later i can add oil cans etc in the window

rough base from left over pieces of wood



sitting behind there , nice extra detail also



then washed the woord , the higher beams are lighter and woth a tad of sanding i got a cool effect





on this picture the wood wash really shows .. and .. i looked at this and went , whow i will make some wooden fencing there , not only does that look awsome and add more detail it also acts as a block when i photograph a car in there



bonus decolored haha

today i added a gauge with some glass on the airpump , also did some random decals on the window of the door , not on a picture yet

made a test version of a old vending machine a few minutes ago , i need to look on the net what i will make (sort of).. so this was a nice testversion made from scraps ..
i also want to make a old coca cola vending machine ...

put it in for some inspiration



also added some random decals on the door , i will put more on later on , need to make a nice doorknob on the door with lockplate







tested some silver plate with glass in front

found an old lego sign and cut most off untill i got this left , put a styrene plate under it with some pins for bolts



after some chrome and a rust wash it came out like this , also did some bolts on the roof sign





o the bottom left i cant get the window to sit right there is a small gap , so i'm thinking of putting some boards in front like the glass was broken there




decided to board up the bottom left windows due to the previous mentioned gap , in fact i think it fits the theme whell !!

also made a doorhandle from brass tube and from very thin brass sheet a lockplate

whell still thinking on how and what on a service garage next to the pump building .. so i thought today i'd make a bell system with a hose they drive over , so when the guy sits inside , legs up watching tv with the heater on 6 .. he knows there are customers





also gave the doorhandle and lock plate some chrome

Post, just to let you know I'm following this with great interest!
