Well Guys because of the cost of this wonderful logging diorama made by BTS I'm forced to try and build it myself. Everything thing you see has been scratchbuilt, it's only in its early stages but wanted to let you know what I've been doing. I'm not thrilled with the color yet but will play with it some more. Well here's the pics.

I'm going to keep this thread updated as things progress would that meet the requirements of a dairy project? As for the color it is best shown in the first photo, for some reason in the last pic the color is completely different.By the way I've repaired the seperated leg from the rear row of supports,noone even noticed "RIGHT"!

I found a website the other day that sold random with siding but don't know if it will look the same. The pieces are 4 to 6" scale and with a project that measures a little over 16" long in real inches that's a lot cutting and glueing.Pat

Pat,
I am glad that you decided to gather these into a single thread. It is an impressive structure, and will be great to have all the progress photos in one location.

You are doing and excellent job. I have been looking at BTS and have ordered some details from them. I have no place for the logging camp, but have really enjoyed looking at it. I will be folling this with great interest.

Great job so far on the sawmill. What a big project.
FYI, in the Railroad Model Craftsman, Sept 1979, pages 62-67 there is a 6 page article for a planning shed by Jerry Strangarity which has a list of materials, a site plan, plans & color photos of the finished model. This planing mill looks a lot like the current McCabe Planing Shed BTS is offering in their sawmill series

Thank you guys I hope you enjoy it as I go along. I don't model very quickly as my time is very limited but I like what I'm doing and learning as I go along.
Paul is there any way you could mail me a copy of this article?? Thanks Pat

Pat,
That's an impressive project you have underway. I like the work on the stairs and railings.

I just wanted to add my newest pic to this section,and I want to show a tip I started using just because I was dumb and added the support structure to the bottom. It has made it ten times harder to work on the details for the rest of the building. The learning process is getting better and here's my way of working with safer hands off technique. I start with a one by 12 piece of stripwood stain it and the glue precut pieces seen in the backgroung to the strip and use a piece of cardboard as a gauge in between the pieces to keep them even.

Pat, the structure is looking fantastic. Is that the technique that you used for the rafter tails?

Bruce, this is what am going to use for the really tight areas above the long side as I can't access it when upside down like I did the other areas. I think it will work great I'll let you know tomorrow after I assemble it. Pat

Pat, that's a great tip for doing the rafter tails! Thanks for posting it! It's something I can use.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm a busy man. I have a railroad to run.
