Robert,
After viewing Dave's photos of the entries, I already have the wheels a turning in my head as to what I could come up with....
And thanks for the compliment....

Mark,
I still have the lumber storage shed for this to finish up.......I was leaning towards a mill that I have pictures of from on line, which is unique that it has stamped pattern metal siding. I was trying to devise a way to replicate this. I have a plan on possibly how to do it, but just need to do all the drawings for it.  At this point not sure. I always say that I am going to take a break, but the next day I am bored, and come up with something else to build.  Time will tell.....

The Storage shed is in the works, just need to do roof, and catwalks......Those Acrylic inks that I bought a couple weeks ago, came in handy. Used them to put a little color back into a few of the boards... should be done in a couple of days....Thanks for taking a look... The boards are a much more gray look to them, but that is just my terrible lighting for the pictures...

How did you apply the inks, with a paintbrush?

Dave,
They are Liquitex Acrylic inks. (Raw Umber, and Burnt Umber) I diluted them just like india ink, in alcohol. I used about the same most commonly used dilution rate of about 2oz of alcohol, with about 50 drops of ink. They are light at this point, and I brushed on two, or three times for some. I also used a Raw Sienna Rembrandt chalk, mixed with a little alcohol, for a couple here, and there. Thanks for the comment...

The shed is coming along nicely Loren.  I like the use of the Acrylic ink washes.  Did you pick them up at Michaels?

Mark,
Thanks for the comment. I actually make a trip every once in awhile down to Norwalk to Jerry's Artarama. An artist's heaven for brushes, paints, chalks, etc....

I finally finished up the storage shed, and machine shop. Seems like this almost took longer to build than the whole warehouse. I tried to be faithful to George's build, and get the board by board as close to his as possible.  Anyways, onto the cutting shed, and fence, and then she's done....Thanks for taking a look...
