n my last column, MRH issue #9 Sept/Oct 2010, I started prepping and weathering the floor of the roundhouse. There was still a lot of work finishing the weathering, so to highlight the weathering process I used to “Faux Finish” the Roundhouse floor I made a short video. I was planning on covering the weathering and painting on this module, and adding the brick paper to the walls. I was also planning to detail and install the machine shop walls. However, in this issue I will cover weathering of the floor of the roundhouse, painting the track, trusses, windows and doors. In the March issue I will cover adding the brick paper to the walls and assembling the machine shop and the first five stalls. Take a look at the short video showing the way I achieved the “Faux Finish” on the roundhouse floor.
