Well build Challenge time, but first, the namesake of my Railroad, the late great Babs, who left us in 2006 at the age of 12, same dog as in my bridge build, she just got her yearly buzz job for summer here.
Ok At first I was really iffy about trying this build, but after thinking and looking at different things, and reading what others have posted and not wanting to just copy someone else I came up with the idea after CICNCHOUSE/Peoria said I could use some unwanted cans she had
,
So I have 2 very colorful starting points, now what to do, too small for a tank farm, a Facebook friend used some 2.5 gallon drums to make a tank farm, but I would need a way to bend aluminum tubes I have and I still have not got that one figured out without crushing the pipe. So I present to the group, my build.
CICNCHOUSE was horrified by my picture with all the stuff on the desk, them she laughed and said all y’all are probably the same with desks like mine. Send letters of disapproval/ irritation and pictures to Debbie Lassen at …better not finish that one.
S&N stands for Smokey ( Debbie’s dad, former Marine), and Norman, my dad (former Navy). that’s the idea for now, it may change.
Idea is to cut the can in half top to bottom, connect the 2 pieces to make one long Hut, then add some Aztek plastic “wood” made to look like brick to the bottom to give it a little more height, then use wood for the front and leave the back side alone. Most Quonset huts are corrugated, but I may be able to find something to give it the look, if not , then these are rare smooth sided huts from a supplier that went out of business.
