More progress for sawmill area. I decided to make a pump house to sit on the pond edge. I hot glued a foamcore building structure to cover with the roof and siding. I still have to add a light inside and one outside and then plant on area and scenic with junk and ground cover. I also scratched a pipe rack out of some styrene shapes.
Cutting coffee stir sticks to cover walls
Adding wood grain with Zona saw
All stained with black shoe polish
By putting boards on paper plate, elevating one end allows the stain to be darker on bottom ends of boards when on wall. The wood grain that is added with saw really shows once stained
Now I added paint color onto boards so that some of the bare boards show through( peeling paint )
Here is the pipe rack painted and some weathering powder for rust
Boards glued onto foamboard, strips of black construction paper glued to card stock roofs
There are two front posts that go under front roof but they will get glued in once it is planted on layout
More photos once it's on the layout
