Weathered the rest of the walls tonight, painted, then stained and then glued on the windows (all 22 of them), glued one side/end wall to the front wall, and one side/end wall to the rear/back wall. Now need to glue each “L” section to each other, forming the building rectangle.
The roof is just mocked on – not glued on yet – need to put on the shingles or tar paper before gluing them on. Need …to glue on the two exterior enclosed staircases – I’ve changed my mind, and will be putting the second staircase on the right side wall (I’d originally planned on putting it on the left side wall). Same now for the second extension – it’s been reversed as well, now going on the left end wall. Looks a lot better that way.
Once I glue on the two staircases and two extensions, I’ll need to put the roofs on them as well. Then will work on adding all six pair of barn doors, and the two first level doors to the enclosed stairs. Lastly, the various exhaust vents, signs, details, the two dock areas, etc. Oh yes, the two celestory things, the two dormers, and at least one, if not two cupolas on the main roof.
Only spent 2-3 hours on this tonight – had all day to work on it, but only started very late in the evening. Estimating 3-4 more evenings of effort.
That’s it for now.
