Howdy folks,

Curt, Jerry, and Rick, I appreciate your comments and support.

The maintenance shed is progressing well.  I have to say this kit is well engineered. 

Today I worked on the roof.  It's drying now, and I will post photos when it is dry.

In the meantime, here are a few photos of progress.

Walls assembled and ready for the roof.


Rafters in place and glued except for the end rafters.



I decided to use corrugated iron roofing instead of the included wood shingles.  It will match the depot which is next to it.

Yesterday I received a hand car kit from Wiseman Model Services to accompany the maintenance shed.

Have fun,

Looks great Mike.

Mike, that's a seriously strong roof to hold all those weights.
It's all coming together nicely.

Mike is the roofing from Wild West Models? I think that's the name. If not they are very similar.

Mike nice job on your build so far. The green color fits the structure very well. Enjoy the build.

Mike that gets better with each post.

I really like the roof and my God are those rafters strong!!

Jerry

Howdy folks,

Thank you Curt!  Indeed, the corrugated iron is from Wild West Models.  It comes in long strips that I cut on the chopper.  Notice there is no blood on the roofing. 

Have fun,
mike

Thank you, Rick.  IAH makes a strong kit.  ~mike

Larry, thank you for the encouragement.  I know it is a modeler's choice to choose colors, but it is helpful when folks share their critique, good or bad.  ~mike

Jerry, thanks for the complement.  I was leery of putting all that weight on the roof, but so many rafters did the trick. ~mike

Very nice, Mike. Good choice on the roofing.

I didn't realize this was going to be such a weighty subject.

Howdy Mike, thanks for the comment.  You know the wind blows hard in west Texas, so had to keep the roofing down...  Have fun, mike

Nice work Mike! Are the Wiseman handcars On30 gauged?
