Some really nice work going on mate all those little details will pay dividends.

I started the day making these things while the "design" was fresh in my head.

Then got some primer on a few things. I'm running really low on my usual Mr Finishing 1500 so had to get the rattle can out. It's a bit like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, being a very high build automotive primer, but I went as lightly as I could to prevent burying all of the details.

I've also made a start on weathering the door

But the main aim for today was more plumbing.

I made a bigger tank for the Miniart compressor.

Then, using the items I made earlier, a lot of styrene rod, and even more patience, I plumbed in a hard airline system

I didn't take any close up shots but I've mimicked double outlets on each of the drop lines. They seem a bit high up, but I'm used to having them overhead, hung from the ceiling, so that vehicles can pass underneath.

I had added a bit of greenery last night, which was dry by this morning. Only an initial "layer", I'll probably add to it later.

And a nicely worn drain pipe. I'll work on the greenery in this area as it would likely be different to it's surroundings given the water outlet, and maybe add some more staining to the wall as the stuff I'd already put on isn't very distinct.

Love it!

This is really building well. There are some great places for generating surface stains on the outside of your building....

Thanks chaps. glad you like it.

Believe it or not I've already done a fair amount of dirtying/staining, it just doesn't show up too well under the floodlights in the shed :smiling5: But yes, it will be getting more.

I figured get the majority built, then finish the weathering as a whole, as it would in real life.

[Tim Marlow]

Add the dirt in layers as well Andy. In real life it doesn’t happen all at once!

Fabulous job Andy, just fabulous!

Andy.

[Guest]

Thanks Andy, that's very kind of you.

I'm not finished with this yet so it's not really ready for the completed section, but furlough is coming to an end as I'm back to work next week. I'm also losing parts faster than I can make them, so wanted to get the majority nailed down.

Figures are just blobbed down temporarily with tape.
