Project Update: Decker's Tar Soap by FOS Scale Models

The Decker's is getting really close to being done. It could have been completed by now but first, I don't do any modeling on the 13th. I lost 6-8 hours right there. Then on Wednesday  I spent most of the evening working on Fat Jimmy's. It is all OK. I have been spending on Decker's pretty much all of my modeling time ignoring my personal projects and I don't have deadline to meet.
I ran into another little problem. I wasn't supposed to add corner posts to the little roof bump and to the roof access before I installing the roof itself. The instructions may mention that somewhere but the drawings don't imply assembly order in any way. So, first I cut wider opening in the roof card to accommodate corner posts. Then I realized that the trim no longer fit under the roof. In real life it would mean rapidly rotting trim. The model just didn't look right. Therefore, I cut out small pieces of chip board and glued in place. Then painted and weathered.
I attempted using included in the kit dirt to cover flat areas of the roof but it just didn't work for me. Instead I used proven method of ground fine Woodland Scenics ballast. It looks too light right now but weathering powders and oil wash will make it look like it should be.
