That is a really nice looking able.  Very neatly done.

Excellent work on the gable end; it doesn't get any better than that. By the looks of your tape the amount of trusses looks about right; to me at least. Never understood why some modelers go so nuts on the number of trusses.

Thanks Larry! Take a look at the original truss design from Stoney Creek Designs #21.  Prototypical modeling seems to be falling on the way side as it increases labor, costs, and materials?

Philip, good catch on the oops and fixing it.
Gable end looks good.

Thanks Rick! Indeed an OS moment!

Nice looking truss work.

Every model has some stuff it reflects, and some stuff it removes.  Interior framing is usually on the "if it can't be seen, it's not worth doing" side of practical modeling.  But that's what makes a model that does interior framing so special.

It is pretty amazing what Roger designed.

Indeed Dave. I stick with the 2 foot rule the majority of the time. Now a front and center model would be different, like your shop.
