Building the Barbose Mining Co. Stamp Mill - Even More Weathering

Things have been progressing very slowly at this point. This particular weathering technique is not quick by any means. Its not difficult but switching off from one marker to the next just gets clumsy and the board and batten siding doesn't make it easy either. I have to deliberately running a marker down the side of the battens to make sure its colored. I have discovered that raw wood looks truly awful, you need to make sure that you cover it all.

Still, almost finished!

The back, which is unlikely to ever be seen, so it was a good place to practice.

Straight on view, the ore bin will fit in the big space at the bottom.

Office side. I decided didn't need to weather the section where the office building will be attached.

And the other side, getting ready to finish it off.

While I will finish this one off with this technique I'm not sure if it looks good or not at this point. Maybe once its on a base and finished it will look better. Right now it looks rather rough.

Building the Barbose Mining Co. Stamp Mill - A Little Weathering

I'm still trying to get the right NBW castings so I can finish the Ore Bin. Third time is the charm!

I have been doing a little initial weathering, trying out the new process with the alcohol markers.

For your viewing pleasure:

Office

Boiler Room

Ore Bin

The Ore Bin is deliberately more gray than the office and boiler room. Let me know what you think!
