Nice work on the coloring as well as the siding. The coloring of the siding is always the hard part for me. Keep up the good work. I might have missed it but, did you freelance it or have some plans? Either way you did well. Mike Reuter Country: USA | Posts: 86 CieloVistaRy Fireman Posted - 09/16/2011 :  11:02:12 AM     I agree, the EH looks fantastic!

Mike - sorta kinda "half & half" I have the plans for the "Haliburton Engine House" and I had this big pile of stripwood, so I gave it a try. The roof and gables and celestory are all my work, just the walls are from the kit plans. Also, I should have put bigger windows I know, but there will be another auxillary building/scene attached to the EH. More to follow when the rest of the stripwood arrives.

All the coloring on the EH is either A/I or rembrandt pastel chalks. Thats pretty much it for the main structure. Now, I need to transport it to the lake and get the side building situated . It's already done....long before I built this. Just an FYI: 254 Battens 260 1x12 both roof areas 96 1x12 on celestory 148 1x12 uprights on the sides 40 1x12 uprights on front and rear entrys 136 various pieces inside framing 8 1x12 ridge caps 942 pieces in all....I think. (Where's Mr Testard, my favorite math instructor?) Anyway, its a lot of wood!!! I have had a great time building it so far....Thanks for looking in and any comments that you may wish to add.....
