My first model; a co-op storage shed

Crud:

Deposit or incrustation of filth as in dirt, grime, gunk, muck, soil, pigeon poop.

Thanks for the explanation. In fact, I didn't do anything to create this. I just tried to add several layers of rust.

Hi everyone!

I have decided to improve this model but adding some texture to the walls by making some planks appear in 3D. I have also changed the signs, changed the painting and weathering and open two doors. I wanted to make this building look old and dirty.

What do you think?

Looks really good.  You might consider adding a loading dock on the side with the big doors.

It looks great.  It is exactly like some old building you would see along an old rail line.

Hi Stef,

I really like it!

I agree that a loading dock would add to the scene. They are easy to make with scale lumber or styrene. Styrene can be aged to match using a fine toothed razor saw to scribe the wood grain pattern, and you can paint it with the same paints you used on the building, perhaps with a little more gray in the mix. Don't forget to put a ramp on one end and some steps.

There is a current discussion on building loading docks in the Layouts and Layout Building forum.
