Post by: Howard Whitehouse on 11 December 2012, 04:49:55 PM

Made for a regular customer:

I built the cabins from foamcore, then clad them in dowels or squared balsa sticks.

Yes, it did take a long time  :D

The top one, "Mean Joe's Tavern", is loosely based on an establishment of the same name owned by the customer's family, somewhere in northern Wisconsin.

I didn't visit it as part of my research. It's a long way to a dodgy sort of place.
