Build Challenge 2016 - FSM Water Tank kit #240

Great job, Steve! I used real cedar shingles on couple of buildings from Houligan Alley kit. I really liked them although it was real pain to cut them. I am thinking about employing the technology to do that part for me. I used Elizabeth Karmel's cedar grilling wraps BTW.

Nice.

So there is a water barrel to douse off any fires on a water tower....?🤔

I've done it once before an while a tad tedious it is worth it and it can be a lot of fun:

Thanks Vilius, Jamie.

Looks great Jaime. I'll look into the cooking supply cedar wraps although I am happy with the Sierra Scale Models sheets. I have a Jamestown Water Stop in the queue to be built, I'm sure Ill use these shingles on that kit when I build it. My next challenge is I plan on doing a really beat up wood shake roof with missing sections and exposed boards. Should be challenging.
