Anders, Did all that blue wall material come from the two kits or did you purchase more?
I like what you've done, I may try that myself.

Ralph,
it all comes from the two Pikestuff kits.
There’s even more of which some will come in handy when I’ll do the loading shed for the silos.

Howdy, School: The white is Wicker White craft paint (#901) by Folk Art. The trim is rattle-can Ruddy Brown primer by Krylon. In know it's an unconventional choice but I like the color...kind of a red-brown.

Thanks. Because of my vision, I'm always looking for good color combinations.
I liked the combination. Krylon Ruddy Brown is the color of my Challenge project Pier Warehouse, with white trim and primer grey interior, so we both have great taste. |

I decided to paint the decorative section of the wall on the outside of the building, still needs some touch up but it gives you the idea.
Also I am calling the retail area done for now, If I keep going there won't be any place to walk or sit...
Next I will work on the details for the gargae area, which means I need to go to the hobbyshop and make a purchase =( |

It has been a while since I have posted any updates on my scratchbuild. Because of work and family obligations, I have chosen to revise the scope of Mrs. Schnebley's Sauerkraut in order to meet the 10th Anniversary deadline. I have also accumulated photos and research on a more appropriate structure for Mrs. Schnebley's.
Continuing here, a hunting/fishing outfitter and provisions emporium - unnamed at present.
Again, walls are constructed of scale strips of watercolor paper or colored Bazzill paper over 1/16 taskboard.
Windows and doors are Tichy and Grandt Line.
At the moment, none of the structure elements are glued to the decking but are set in place, or propped up, for photographic purposes. My plans are to set the structure on a slight topographic incline with a basement storage structure for skiffs and other equipment.
As you can see, there are several incomplete loose ends - roofs, peak caps, framing/bracing, light fixtures, signage, railing ...
Early construction was posted here:

With this first kit, I've ambushed myself a couple times on what most of you would consider an easy build.
And I'm plodding along, maybe spending too much time ogling the great projects here. It has to be a record.
The windowed/gabled panel needs AI.
Thanks for looking.

Finally, some progress on the roof. I began with the tower roof as I saw it as most difficult. First I applied lined strips to guide placement and insure some semblance of straightness. I am using Builders in Scale Slate Shingles (#510 – slate green). I like the texture on these and see these as more appropriate to the age of the building than the “rolled roofing suggested by Fulasz or asphalt shingles for that matter.
Once the shingling was complete, I applied BEST “Tin/Lead” flashing that I had treated with A-West Patina-it.
I have not weathered the shingles yet as I will wait till the main roof is completed so that I can blend all.
