George Fly Army Country: USA | Posts: 16946 robert goslin Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/10/2021 :  11:46:20 PM     Thanks Larry. The door only takes about 10 mins to make. Just balsa sheet, cut into strips, and glued directly onto the wall. Thanks Dave, Frank & George. The stairs were a bit fiddly to do as they were inserted after the walls were all together. The balsa banister & framing were then built around the stairs. Long tweezers & a steady hand required. (& patience). Luckily the door openings are fairly large.

So the floor boards are only a bit over half the width of the structure. Have built a small balsa wall across the split level, and will do a few steps down inside. Another couple of basic doors added. Balsa strips.

Frank Country: USA | Posts: 6163 robert goslin Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/11/2021 :  9:07:49 PM     Thanks Frank. Took a bit to work it all out from just photos. I also studied you computer blueprint, from when you where going to build this. Maybe one day you will build it. Regards Rob My current build. http://railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=53468 Country: Australia | Posts: 2953 robert goslin Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/12/2021 :  12:45:02 AM     Not great pics, as I'm trying to shine some light inside so the detail comes out. The small set of steps inside are done. And have given some boards a bit of colour, to represent ones replaced with whatever was lying around. I think it's time to paint the exterior walls. Regards Rob My current build. http://railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=53468 Country: Australia | Posts: 2953 Michael Hohn Fireman Posted - 01/12/2021 :  08:51:01 AM       The interiors with stairs add a lot of character. Very nicely done. Mike Country: USA | Posts: 7486 Frank Palmer Fireman Posted - 01/12/2021 :  09:22:34 AM       Geoff did a fantastic job designing and building the Boathouse. I'm sure your Nor-Easta' version will be equally great. Frank Country: USA | Posts: 6163 robert goslin Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/13/2021 :  9:19:05 PM     Thanks Mike & Frank. Have given it an overall coat of white, and for the trim I used Tamiya Cockpit Green.

I love the stairways that you built. Greg Shinnie Country: Canada | Posts: 9161 Frank Palmer Fireman Posted - 01/14/2021 :  10:17:49 AM       Going together nicely and that green is very pleasing to a Down Easta's eye. Frank Country: USA | Posts: 6163 Dutchman Administrator Premium Member Posted - 01/14/2021 :  10:40:18 AM     The boathouse is really coming together, Rob. Bruce Country: USA | Posts: 33524 Larryc Crew Chief Posted - 01/14/2021 :  12:24:39 PM     Rob the stairs look good while adding more character. Nice choice of colors; looks very "New England" in appearance. Country: USA | Posts: 897 mark_dalrymple Fireman Posted - 01/14/2021 :  2:20:16 PM       Coming together really nicely, Rob. Cheers, Mark. Country: New Zealand | Posts: 1280 robert goslin Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/14/2021 :  11:03:47 PM     Thanks Greg & Larry. Yep, I'm really happy with the stairs. A bit of fiddling to get them in but worth it. And I figured there had to be someway of getting to the upper floor. Thanks Frank, Bruce, and Mark for your continued interest. The cockpit green is one I have used on a lot of my N scale windows over the years.
