Barnstead Lumber FSM 195

[MASIGMON]

Karl/John,
Thank you for the photo of how George used Barnstead on this layout.  I know alot of you guys would recognise that structure in the photo as Barnstead but I know I would not.  I do like the building as just a stand alone structure without all of the out buildings.  Barnstead is a great design structure with the angle entrance. 
Karl, As I have said before when you shared the photo of your earlier build of Barnstead without the back cover is the way I like the structure. Of cource if you are using the structure as a lumber yard you would need all those lumber sorting racks

Thanks again guys for sharing

Hi Guys:

Almost done lumber shed. Wanted to see how it would look on the diorama. He's a pre-photo with buildings just sitting in place. No glue.

Karl,

Did you bother to figure how many different sizes of lumber George gave you with the kit for just to be used in the starage structure.  Did you spot glue each length to keep it in their shelves?

Build is looking great

Hi Mike:

Yeah you got 6 different sizes. I glued them in one at a time on the first half. Very time consuming. On the 2nd half I made nice little piles and thinned down some white glue and put it on one end of the pile with an eye dropper. I did this on a piece of waxed paper.  When dry I glued them in as 1 piece.

Karl,

Looking good.  I sure hope you weather that roof on the lumber shed.  It is sticking out like a sore thumb compared to the condition of the rest of the structure.

Karl,

Really like how this one is coming together.

Hi Frank:

That's cause it isn't weathered yet. Just waiting for paint to be nice and dry. It was the safest place to store it. Not glued down yet either.

Hi Tom:

Looks good Karl. Sometimes it can be difficult to model new fresh wood without it sticking out and looking wrong but you nailed it. Did you do a light A&I wash to tone the stripwood down?
