#1

I saw something similar in an old Garden Railway magazine and decided my railroad needed one. I used all the scrap wood i had and came up with this. The main body is from tat plastic sign board. Sorry no build photos.

#2

That’s a keeper Shawn. Fits right in.

#3

Nice looking shanty, Shawn.

#4

no building pics? that makes it nearly unacceptable.

but i like it.

#5

Where’s the napkin drawing?

#6

Beautiful, V, and I agree it fits right in, nice details also…do we all recognize that door? A Taylor door?..hmmmmm.

#9

Wow no napkin, no build photos. . . I am saying you bought it.

Very nice Shawn as usual.

#10

Thank you guys. Sorry no napkin drawings for this one either. With the baby I have been getting 20 minutes in spurts to work on things. John I think it is Taylor door. I forgot it was from the build challenge I never got to because of the move I believe.

That ain’t no shanty that’s a love shack! We all know you are quite familiar with them Shawn. Either way looks good!

#12

Looks like it was recently rained on; what’s the wood used?

#13

Thanks guys

I used all cedar on it then weathered it with some alcohol and India ink. Cedar seems to hold best around here.

Rooster shhhhhh dont tell anyone.

Because cedar doesn’t weather in New Jersey? Anyway, it looks sharp!

Ah, the impatience of youth. (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-laughing.gif). My buildings seem to weather too quickly.
