While I track my inbound bricks from the snowy north I started mode details for the wagons I started earlier. I am starting to work up the two wagons in the picture. I will figure out how to best recreate the canvas cover on the wagons. I will also attempt to recreate the wall, track, scenery and a flat of the blown out factory and add it to the layout which would might cover number 8.

For the canvas, many folks use tissue paper. but a lot of the military modellers use tin foil. I've used it for a good representation of canvas tarp.

I like the rafters, nice notches! It will be interesting how you do the canvas. When I was modeling military vehicles in my youth, I used moistened hand wipes that had been rinsed out and formed, then dried and painted.

The nice thing is that you can fold and crease it, making it a bit easier to shape as a canvas roof over the cars. dave Modeling 1890s (because the voices in my head told me to) Edited by - deemery on 02/06/2021 10:49:43 AM Country: USA | Posts: 8838 George D Moderator Premium Member Posted - 02/06/2021 :  11:22:51 AM     quote: Originally posted by deemery I've gotten good results from telephone book paper for canvas, but of course you'd have to paint it...

Fly Army Country: USA | Posts: 16783 BigLars Engineer Premium Member Posted - 02/06/2021 :  1:05:58 PM     Darn it! I tossed out all my phone books as I just google everything. Country: USA | Posts: 11958 BigLars Engineer Premium Member Posted - 02/07/2021 :  6:14:48 PM     Back to work on the scratch built structure. I forgot to take a picture of the inside beams painted. I also made a lot of headway on the roof. Next the fun part weather the roof them break it up a little and glue on a few hundred broken tiles.

The light gray between the bricks is cobblestone paper from MicroMark. Thanks Philip and George.
