Another small addition to the weavery... a proper entrance.
I'll make a fence of sorts from the gate to the loading platform and from the new shed in behind the factory.
Sorry for the available light mix of very cold and very warm in the photo....

| Excellent. The round shape of the sign is very nice. |

| Ben, I used thick rust coloured acrylics dapped on along the edges of the sign. When dry I drybrushed the front with light brown greys (same I used for the shingles). |

Troels: I am simply amazed at your ability
to hand letter your signage with such accuracy
and legibility! If I didn't know better, I'd
think those were decals. You are certainly a
very talented young man! |

Geezer, the arched sign is not hand lettered! I made it in photoshop. Sometimes I take a shortcut you know (when I have the font and it's going on a uniform surface.... I printed on normal copy paper, sprayed with fixative and glued it to cardboard. But the lettering on the building was hand lettered.
It's a loong time since someone called me a young man! Thanks! |

And yet, they should because it has more to do with what we have in our mind than with our date of birth.

Weavery "finished"... as far as I can get before installing/blending in on the layout. I'd like to find a couple of figures for the load ramp area, and perhaps a little truck of sorts... a bicycle too... It's been a fun and satisfying build. And a good match for the lighthouse.

Hi Troels, your Tesdorf Weavery has turned out to be a very handsome looking building!
Do you plan on lighting this building with interior lights?
I can see it in my minds eye lit at night by the lighthouse.

Ah yes, with the scenery around it even improves the charm of the buildings.
