Title: Northeastern Scale Models Storage Shed
Post by: jimmillho on August 27, 2016, 04:16:06 PM
I do not know for sure where this kit came from.  I may have picked it up with some collection of Trains that I bought some time ago.  I did not get a picture of the Kit just opened as it was already opened and the parts were loose.

The Walls, Windows and all the other pieces of wood were treated (painted) with Weather It to give it a look of weathered unpainted wood.  Using some Scale 10 x 10 lumber I braced all the walls and roof panels to stop the warping.

I assembled the Windows and Door and installed them and added the end boards to the end panels.  I drew guide lines on the roof panels to use for Shingle installation.  I don't know right now what I will use for the Shingles.

The Walls are assemble and waiting for the Glue to dry.

I found some Bar Mills Shake-Styled Shingles in my Stock of "stuff to use some time" so I will try them.  I covered the roof panels with 3M Transfer Adhesive and put on the Shingles.

Here is the finished Structure, ready to be placed somewhere on the Layout.

I have not figured out how to add text between pictures so each one is a separate post.

Thanks Karl.....It took me almost as long to build this little shed as it takes you to build a FSM structure.  Some day maybe...........

Bob and John,
Thanks for stopping by.  The Bar Mills Shingles look good after they are finished, but some of them need a little extra glue under the front edge.
