Just finished...my two dollar buys after I put in two hours of work. |
Here is a look at two structures I picked up this spring for a dollar each. I added a wooden sliding door to the one structure that is scratch-built and a chimney to the the small shed. All the rest is paint and chalk weathering. The details are glued to the walls...George Dutka

I added a chimney and painted the structure by brush with acrylic silver and gray followed by some chalk. |

Some brown craft paint and a lot of PanPastels are used to colour this structure. I added some signs to add interest and hide the bad spots on the walls. |
Great job on these structures, George. Imagination plus!
