this is about as far as I am going to take it for now.Any additional weathering will be done after I put it together.
Here i have taken a little watery burnt sienna and added a little rust to some of the nailheads.Be careful not to overdo it.I then took a touch of burnt sienna pastel and softened the look a bit.You can continue to shade some of the boards with grey or black or even add some brown if your boards look too grey.I took some very light green pastel and dusted up the windows a bit.I also added a little darker green at the very bottom of the boards to represent a little moss, I am not yet totally happy with the moss color but it gives you an idea about what I am talking about.
In the next pic you can see some of the tools that I have been using.

This is an old pic of the unfinished office module.I posted it so that you could see how a more painted type finish could be weathered.The weathering is not yet completed but will be much more subtle than the engine shop out back.I figure that is they were going to go to the expense of completely painting any of the structures it would probably be this office.The exterior is an off-white put on in thin washes.Nailheads could in this case be covered with paint except maybe at the very bottom and a few more only lightly rusted here and there to add a little interest.

Question Help!

I am now finishing up the engine room wall panels and about to start on the furniture.If anyone has any pics of a room such as this please advise.
In my imagination I can see lots of parts and pieces laying around and storage space for various nuts and bolts.This shop is designed for light maintenance and not major overhauls.There already is a lathe in the carpenters shop but maybe a nice drill press would be in order.Got any pictures?

Lightbulb

This is the lathe in the woodworking shop .This whole idea evolved from a pic that a fellow sent me of a shop in a museum in Sweden ,I think it was.The storage space for the woodworkers carving tools etc... and the prop being given its final coats of varnish all came from that picture.

Once in awhile I like to post pics that have never been posted before for those who are building or are comtemplating building the Nieuport 28 or Albatros in 1/16th scale.I hope you find them helpful as I know I sure did like seeing pics of other guys work when I was building mine.
