Beautiful coloring, and good variation! Your brick work just keeps on amazing me.
Nice start on the addition.

Fred, Great looking bricks, now you've applied the wash. And more bricking to go. Nice.
The side addition should look good.

Thanks, Scott, Tom, Rob, Bob, Ray and Dave!!
I went back to the main structure following the new info I had and cut in three more windows and a door. And bricked what needed to be bricked.
Now I'm going back to bricking the add-on. I'm starting to feel the signs of brick fatigue.

Nice work. I can sympathize with the brick work, both modeling and in real 1:1 brick work. The old saying of "Been there, Done that".

Fred,
I went back a few pages and saw you did these walls brick by brick. What an amazing project.
But I'm sure with your past experience it's still a major process. Looks great. I like the chosen colors too.

The addition will add a lot to your model.
Great job with coloring the brickwork.

Fred, the new brickwork matches the original brickwork - not always a guaranteed outcome. Good adjustment with that new info!

Thanks, Carl, Bernd, Rich, Mike, Bob and Bill!!
What? An update so soon!
I stained the new brick, fortunately the colors don't have to be spot-on.
And I've been bricking.
To put it into perspective, that's nearly 400 bricks.

Fred,
Your building is layered with talent of course. In addition, it is held together with the mortar of experience.
Nice work blending the bricks.
