Thanks again for compliments! I just kind of stumbled upon the squeeze juice caps (my kids are frequently sucking those things down), but I'm glad others can make use of the idea (or had already thought of it independently) as well! The bridge in the background at the club was built by Matt, with everyday materials, and is one of my favorite features there. The silver one you can see a portion of in my garage is a 48" truss bridge that I bought to add some gravitas to the hole layout.

Anywho, back to the Breen... I was able to successfully salvage the roof pieces, weather up the vents, and attach them to the roof. The white spots are where I has tape to ensure that he stone paint didn't cover the vent mounting points. The uneven pattern on the roof is totally accidental (I ran out of stone paint) but I like the way it looks:

I'm a big fan of the acryl "rust" color, which I dry-brush on to simulate... well... rust:

Here's the roof vents:

And here they are installed. The smaller vent was original to this building, so I used it again:
