Not sure if that helps. I need to make some details to put inside before I go much further, while I still have reasonable access. Also any excuse not to do more shingles. Made up some crates from balsa blocks & cardboard strip. I've also made up the doors. Again used balsa. My version has doors on all the openings, but the original didn't, only had the large doors. Sample before paint. And here they are painted. All the smaller doors you won't see the backs, so I only detailed one side. The very large doors will be opened halfway so I detailed the framing on both sides. Trial fit. Doors reversed so it appears the framing is the inside of the door.

Really, they all look good. I like the doorway shot, those floorboards look like they might creak under my feet. Scott Country: | Posts: 190 George D Moderator Premium Member Posted - 01/26/2021 :  08:12:51 AM     Open doors showing your details is going to add nicely to the building. George Fly Army Country: USA | Posts: 16783 Ensign Engineer Posted - 01/26/2021 :  10:17:06 AM     Rob, I hear you about not liking to do shingling. So your crate & door building distraction was a good idea to get away from roofing for a bit. Bad news is, I bet those crates are full of new shingles waiting to be installed. It's all coming together beautifully! Greg Country: Canada | Posts: 9039 Guff Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/26/2021 :  10:20:50 AM       Rob, Details look great! Happy Australian Day!! David Guffey Country: USA | Posts: 2095 Carl B Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/26/2021 :  11:27:22 AM     From now on, I'm calling you the "Balsa Boss"... Looks good Rob. Country: USA | Posts: 4150 Frank Palmer Fireman Posted - 01/26/2021 :  6:58:26 PM       Crates and doors oh my, oh my indeed. Frank Country: USA | Posts: 6129 robert goslin Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/26/2021 :  11:40:40 PM     Thanks Scott. The floor boards are narrow coffee stir sticks. Got a pack of 100 for a couple of bucks. Thanks George, Dave & Frank. All the little details will certainly enhance the structure. Dave, I enjoyed the public holiday. Had Monday off as well. Carl, I'm not a boss at work or at home, but the Balsa Boss... I like that. Thanks. Greg, was wondering why the crates where so heavy. I've opened them and yes, the dreaded shingles have arrived, so I better get back to the roof soon. Or have a bonfire.

Now to try and get it all inside. Also painted up an old 44 gal drum. Painted white with a rattlecan, then sponge painted the red and chipping.

Scott Country: | Posts: 190 Michael Hohn Fireman Posted - 01/27/2021 :  5:21:14 PM       Rob, The crates of shingles are very cool. And let’s hear a drumroll for your weathered oil drum. Mike Country: USA | Posts: 7213 BurleyJim Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/27/2021 :  6:52:04 PM     You have made some excellent progress on this Rob. It would good on any layout. Jim Take the red pill Country: USA | Posts: 6161 BreizhSteamer Engine Wiper Posted - 01/29/2021 :  03:20:18 AM       Concerning the shingles, I'd opt for the bonfire... Outstanding work, Rob! Frédéric Country: France | Posts: 126 robert goslin Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/29/2021 :  03:30:24 AM     Thanks Scott. Yes, I have to remember I'm modelling America. 55 US gallons = 44 Imp gallons. The sponge technique is my go to for rust these days. Thanks Mike, the crates of shingle are real. But the oil drum is mine. Thanks Jim & Frédéric. I'm actually progressing pretty well I think, and really enjoying it.
