wslc reynolds camp cookhouse

[hairball]

here are a few pictures of a Thomas Yorke WSLC cookhouse , one of 4 examples I built .  This one was done using FLOQUIL FLO-STAIN wood colors on the board and baton siding.

I used paper bag cut into strips as the roofing.  Colored that with ROOF RED floquil .  Tar lapping lines were done with a really small brush.  Some staining to illustrate smoke was done with Bradgon weathering powder.

All the deck wood from northeastern lumber,   was done using Fiebings leather dye, USMC black and 99% pure rubbing alcohol.

The brass MOOSE rack on the wall was from Dave Braun at THE BACKSHOP , now owned by keith Wiseman.

I missed this build Mike.....great job.....

[hairball]

thank you all.

I think if I was to build #6 of this I would use a couple other floquil flo-stains I have acquired.   Waiting for HICKORY to be delivered and Naturel pine.

Mike,
A beautiful structure with exquisite detail.  The stained siding absolutely makes it.  This is my favorite build of yours that you have shown us.

Thanks guys, what I was trying to achieve was a structure built of scrap wood laying around a sawmill and pushed up the tracks to the site of a new cookhouse on WSLC property.

Think next time I build one of these I will use board on board , no batons, and make it look like fresh sawn lumber directly from the mill.

Might also be interesting to build one of these as abandoned with scorch marks from a fire and open the roof up to exposed rafters and burned shingles.

Things you think of when day dreaming.     This particular ***design**** I built was featured on the cover of o scale magazine of DON KLOSE Schenectady NY layout as a hunting lodge in the hills, it was faded green
