Over the last few weeks I've been scratch building the Rose Tool factory backdrop. It measures 32" long by 13" high. I really like old weather beaten board and batten siding, and I decided to make my own board by board. It goes without saying...there was endless cutting of a lot of pieces of wood involved in this project, but I like the effect that just doesn't come with sheet siding. The finish is a blend of several applications of various alcohol/Ink washes and acrylic paint. I just keep adding until the look appeals to me. There's still some scenic work to blend it in as well as paint for the sheetrock wall, but for now I'm pretty satisfied with the project.
