Is the back wall supposed to have this sort of effect. Can’t tell from the picture angle.

Your picture link isn’t working for me Brian.

Oh never mind it is a diamond pattern of black bricks on red bricks.

I know what you mean. No this is just random diagonals prior to adding a dark wash.

Fair enough. It is a fine looking shed.

Final touches applied to the shed.

An overall wash of blue/grey, wiped off before it could dry. Window frames painted and glazed with Glue n Glaze (still drying). I also added facial and guttering with downpipes made from copper wire. Door mouldings do come with the kit but they are a bit thick and only single sided so new doors were built from plasticard with wire hinges. The final touch was to cover the roof ridge with copper tape. I did add some chemical blacking to it but ended up toning it down with the airbrush.

I reckon I can stick a fork in this and call it done.

What a beautiful shed. Well done Steve you really have excelled this time. A masterpiece.

Incredible eye for detail and a great skill. I am overcome with awe ———- and envy! R-

Wow - it certainly is a "masterpiece" - well done.

Great work Steve.
Looks as though it was always there and will do so more once you apply your skills to the ground cover!
