I'm in on this one too. Never too many great looking boathouses!

It's going to be interesting to see how this turns out, Rob.

Looking good, Rob.
I don't recall ever seeing scribed siding attached to matt board before. Interesting.
Cheers, Mark.

Thanks you Bob, Jim, George, Frank, Mike & Mark, for your interest.
Frank, Hope it's a big bucket of popcorn, as I work really slow.
Mark, For all my O scale wood structures I always mount the siding onto matboard. I still initially get some warping, but a couple of days under a brick paver flattens it out. And as this model has large openings, the interior will be visible, so the board will represent interior walls, rather than having visible bracing. I think I model differently to a lot of others.

Rob, you have to give us more than 2 walls. I'm half way through my popcorn and only 2 walls.

Your usual is "N" scale. Switching to "O" scale must be pure joy.

Frank. Bit of a delay on the modelling front. My daughter's getting married today, so I guess that's my priority at the moment.
Carl, yep big jump from N to O scale. I could fit a whole N scale city block into this structures footprint.
I do enjoy both scales equally.

My daughter's getting married
Congrats! If you follow the tradition of the brides parents paying for the wedding.... I suspect your finances may have been impacted....
Rob, I hope you had these modeling supplies already in hand....
