Project Update: Houligan's Alley by FSM

When compared to previous post it doesn't seem like I have made much progress since then. I have been working full speed though. All small things like building the dock, the shed, corrugated metal weathering, etc. take some time to complete.
Following chipping articles in Weathering magazine published by AK Interactive I have decided to employ sponge method to create rust spots on corrugated sheeting. Although magazine articles reference scotch (?) sponges I have decided to use makeup one. Honestly, it was only I could find at that particular moment. I think this "happy accident" was a success. Most military modelers work in larger scales and therefore scotch with bigger holes is preferred. I think in HO scale rust spots (chipping) would be oversized. After applying chipping effect I applied rusty wash what I suspect magazine refers to as filter and then added some streaks.
I hope to have fully completed Casey's Woodworking building for next update. Give me another week or so.
