Rusted Roofing The metal roof panels were rusted with Pan Pastels before they were added to the structure. By rusting each panel separately, subtle rust shades could be intro- duced to the roof.
Shelf The outside shelf was built from strip wood with no subwall. When built, it had lots of junk added to simulate a well- used structure.
Exterior Tool Shelf I built the toolshed sides from
three pieces of siding and 1/32- inch square strip wood. The shelf and roof are 1/16-foot sheet wood. I used 220-grit sandpaper for the tarpaper with 1/32-foot square wood for the battens on top. Pop- ulate it with lots of junk from your spares and junk drawers.
Details I made the awning using a
small piece of wedge-shaped balsa, some tin roofing material, and some 1/32-inch square strip stock. I made the lamp with a pin bent into a gooseneck and a Tichy lamp cover. To make the smokejack, I cut a
Tar Paper Roof Tape was used to simu- late the section of roof that would have been covered in tar paper. By tearing the tape away, you can simulate tar pa- per that had been dam- aged at some point.
“T” from a small sprue and glued it onto a small square of acetate. I painted it silver and then added smoke stains with Grimy Black paint and rust with Pan Pastels. The concrete step is just a small piece of basswood painted gray and glued right onto the scenery in front of the door.
Planting the Structure Plant the structure on your lay-
out. Surround it with plenty of weeds and junk. The workers in your yard or terminal now have an office, locker room, or storage shed — who knows what else it might be?
