As I am building new cement mountains I am wanting to place some, what I call cliffhangers. I love the looks of rustic, roughly built and old looking wooden cabins, that are literly hanging on the sides of mountains. These cabins need to be built on the sides of mountains because there is no room on the flatlands. I started off with 6 Floors the same size, each cabin ends up being totally different. This cabin I added a small second story in the back, to cram a couple more cots into.
I have recently purchaced a Grex headless 23 gauge pinner, now that tool is fun. I am amazed at what can be nailed together, how small pieces that can actually be toenailed into place and suprisingly holds very well. Cutting all my redwood on the tablesaw and glueing with titebond 3 and adding a few nails really makes building these quite fun.
These little cabins that are hanging on the open edge needs a fence to help keep kids and drunks from making that fatal step…
Here it is installed
Cool building, Dennis, although I think the local code enforcers might have a problem with it in its present location. 
just awesome. I am very inspired
This is off topic but how did you do your rock work? It looks great.
Nice looking building…
Great job, Have more pics of your layout?
That is a good looking building and a perfect spot for it.
pin nailers are the way to go. a drop of titebond3 and a pin or 2 and it is good for years.
That stone station is really cool lookng too. We need to see more photos or videos from your RR.
Thanks for all the compliments
Another cabin
Funky and great. I love the look of the rough lumber and heavy weathering. The “hanging on for dear life” stilts are amazing!
Great looking buildings. If I was a 3 inch tall guy I would be nervous to spend anytime in them in their precarious locations…
Those are great shacks, nice and rustic. more pics please.
Thank you for your compliments
got the figures placed, models looks better with figures installed.
