Mike that's about my method.
Dave,
Of course the Dr. 💩 ruins any schedule.
I'm just glad I got to retire!

Thanks gentlemen!
Just glad y'all are enjoying my insanity.
Currently working on something simple.
Of course I can't keep it simple.
Just a water tower/tank.
MJinTN

Impressive!!!!!!!
I look forward to more.
FWIW I think embossed rivets are acceptable, especially in your scale.
MJinTN

Well I thought I was done...
My bride reminded me I forgot the reins.
Hopefully those should be easy. (Famous last words)
This project just about pushed me over the edge.
Not that I was ever sane. 🤪

MJinTN

Those pictures look like some of my neighbors front yards.
😂

I am using a rotary paper cutter but at these thin specifications it still is a challenge.
Also making buckles and rings.
Glad y'all are enjoying my torture.
MJinTN

Thank you all.
I'm using scrapbook paper that has a texture to it.
Cutting 1/8" and 1/16" strips is challenging to say the least.
I've been looking at images I took at the Mennonite's and on line.

MJinTN

Working on the tack, harnessing, rigging.
This may kill me.
MJinTN

The mule is ready.
On to the tack/rigging. Ugh...
MJinTN

Thank you guys!
It's 7 1/2" long and 3" wide.
I guess it would hold about $60 in groceries!😀😀😀
MJinTN

I guess we can call you a "framer" now.
You've had plenty experience building these walls. 🤪😛🤩😜
MJinTN

They look great!
I have lots of trees to look at here.
What are you using for the foliage?
I used Ming fern years ago.
MJinTN

Ten foot freight wagon.
I made everything except the NBW's & axle bolts.
Now to do the tack for the mule...😢
MJinTN

Thank you gentlemen!
I wish y'all had questions.
MJinTN

Coloring is great!
Turning the headers 90 degrees would be stronger or even using 2x6's.
Not a criticism just info.
