I am all done! As I said, I painted most of the edges. Some I covered with a few coats and some just one to keep with a bit of a rustic, rugged look. The build itself was not bad. I did have a little crack in 2 pieces. I was able to fix with glue. Both were from the E board which was very thin. This seems to be an pattern with the black boards.
I also found that fits were pretty tight so I just reverted to my favorite mantra, “Sand and/or wax as needed” Almost every tab was waxed. I have taken so many pics throughout that I only really needed one for this! End product and happy with build!
It turned out beautifully! I really like how you balanced the painted edges between the more finished areas and the lightly painted ones, it gives the build that lovely rustic, lived-in look. And “sand and/or wax as needed” is such a perfect mantra for these builds! So glad you were able to fix those cracks and finish it feeling happy with the result. Congratulations!
What a beautiful job! My teenagegrandson started this kit when he was here last time so I have this tiny little partially built platform just waiting for him lol
It is actually my Son’s friend who did gravel work for us. My son will gift it to him. He wants to surprise him so trying to do either tonight or tomorrow. He has no clue I did this.
absolutely gorgeous!
