Ted Country: USA | Posts: 5450 Terrell Fireman Posted - 11/04/2017 :  11:35:48 AM   Thanks, again, Ted. I believe this was my first exercise in using paper, cardstock in this case, for wood siding. The window trim, fish-scale shingles are also cardstock. The chimney is acrylic canvas bricks. Roofing is copier paper. Windows and doors are wood. All mounted on black foamboard.

Row boats and canoes made with white card stock, yet to be painted.

Country: USA | Posts: 4531 Terrell Fireman Posted - 11/04/2017 :  3:15:01 PM   It's just a heavy stock "paper" used for acrylic painting. I cut the sheets into strips the height of the bricks them cut the strips to the length of the brick.

(Thank you, Kristi, for your addiction...I will never run out of this material.) The roof is metal, the little tank plastic, and of course the figures are plastic and metal. The structure plans are from Model Railroader. I based my model on the drawing's dimensions, but took the details from the prototype photos included. A fun structure built in between jobs. Great work, everyone. My Train Blog: http://ocalicreek.blogspot.com/ Country: USA | Posts: 333 Guff Fireman Premium Member Posted - 11/04/2017 :  7:12:25 PM   Terrell, Like the canvas brick idea! Thanks, Dave Country: USA | Posts: 1411 quartergauger48 Fireman Premium Member Posted - 11/04/2017 :  10:20:45 PM   Thanks Fred for answering Frank's question.

Windows, doors, roof trim, deck, cleaning table and bench are wood. And again with the canvas chimney. The roof covering (hardly seen) is tissue tar-paper.
