Good morning all,
not much to show for the weekend, but I did try out my spacing for the platform lights.
Now my original idea was to have the lights spaced at 30 cm.
Then over the weekend I watched a you tube video about platforms and there the lights
where spaced at 18 cm.
Well I decided to take an old plank and drill some holes.
18, 25 and 30 cm spacing.
Excuse the slightly blurred photos as I did not get out the tripod.
So hand held shots from more or less the same spot for comparison.
First 18, then 25 and last 30 cm spacing.
What do you think is best?

Then I scribed lines into the wood to replicate individual planks.
Then weathering with chalks.

Aloha,

close up after a black wash.
Unfortunately the photo does not show the dirt in the gutter so well.

Then I watched a German you tube video with a very interesting idea on weathering
roofs.
The idea is to dry brush black on the tiles from the bottom up to darken the edge of the tiles.
So I tried it.
I did not have my brush dry enough a few times, but I will continue with my attempt
at this signal tower.
 

Then a bit of paint and it all looks different.

I also got out the box of parts to complete my signal tower.
Remember that I am using two kits to build one building, I'm extending
the length over the track.
So the roof has to be modified as well.
Well after careful consideration and marking my cuts I applied the hacksaw
and cut.
 

Good morning all,
small update. I have spent time this week making the little tiles and gluing
them in place.
one section is done. 
With a light grey paint I'm quite happy with the result.
Enjoy.
