Large Scale Central

My challenge for 2011

Modeling
#1

For my, I challenge, I chose the old station in Salina, Utah. I found it on Ghost Depots. After doing some research, I found it was torn down a few years back. The challenge so far is to find photo of it. There is a depot in Richfield that is still standing, and I believe was similar, so it may have to do. But I am still trying to see if I can find a few early photo’s. Here is what I have done so far.

I started with some redwood I found.

After a trip through the table saw and the planer I was ready to start.

This is were Iam so far.http://freightsheds.largescalecentral.com/users/smokey/_forumfiles/start4.jpg.I am going to have to fire the two guys if they don’t get working!

Pretty neat. What’s the finished color going to be?

On the one I found with a color photo it was gray on the bottom and white on the top with dark green for some of the trim.

#16

how did you make these carved boards?

#17

They are fancy bamboo forks I found at the doller store.Some time ago, which I trimed up.

#18

good idea, they give the building some personality.

#19

So far this week I got the roof started with hand cut cedar shingles. This has proved to be a challenge.
