Yeah, sure...and next you're telling "kaka" means cake. We're not that gullible, you know.

Very nice buildings, though. Keep going. :D

Very nice, but post them all up and reduce the pics a little bit, (when you edit your own posts you'll see the IMG code has a height and width figure, just scale it down proportionally and it'll look fine).

Looking forward to seeing more, that Perry ACW house is very very useful, have you used the picket fencing as well?

Excellent idea. And since I've lost my last "crib sheet" with my Treshold gang I might as well write a new one. Don't mind playing both Lurkers and Treshold or just focusing on one or the other  :)

Nice building.....i love the weathering and the rusty effect. Good base too.
I must build some structure like this.
Thanks for inspiration Widgren!!!

thanks!
the weathering is dead easy. the model was sprayed black and overbrushed in a light grey. a white drybrush finished the look. the tin roof got a flat coat of the light grey and was stippled with a peace of foam dipped in black paint and later in rust brown. a dark metallic steely colour was used to add some zazz.

try it out, its very easy. and quick:)
