I have done some further work on J. Peterson Ltd on Grove Road.

But let me repeat my starting points:
- Using my favorite method for design
- Balanced colors
- Just low relief

For the building I took the garage from Scalescenes using a texture from Clever Models and a self-made sign. I did choice the brick wall from Model Railway Scenery

But making photographs I noticed another problem. The solution was to create the complete workshop. In this way it is possible to create a picture using the birds-eye position for my camera. I think I have to do a lot of try outs to get the right picture, but making digital pictures this is no problem.

For the roof I also wanted balanced colors. The simplest one would be using slate. The zinc roofing from Scalescenes has the wrong colour in my case. The other possibility was to create a corrugated roof. The color from the Scalescenes range gave a balanced color look.

So I created a corrugated roof for Peterson & Son Ltd. I think a simple photo guide will explain enough.

Corrugated plates about 16 x 22 mm in 4 mm scale. I used 20 mm high as on the texture from Scalescenes.

I created guide lines for gluing the plates in place. Just overlapping each other. From every plate a made the edges black with a pastel pencil to create some shadow lines.

I used pastel pencils for weathering: sienna and umber are very useful. For more fresh rust you can use orange to brown colors.

The finished corrugated roof. With on one side the wall coping.

On the other side I made also a roof window from a left over from Scalescene

I have to finish the roof with further wall copings. The next job will be to create a small builders yard.

Any suggestions for creating a believable yard are very welcome.

Kind regards,
