Real wood scratchbuild: 1800's outpost, Seminole Wars
« on: August 23, 2022, 05:21:13 PM »
It's a general store, outpost, etc. 

I built a balsa frame, then planked it like a real building.  Came out purty good I think.

Well, except for cooking, you really don't need a fireplace in central Florida....

But the building looks good as is, FWIW...

Walls look really good like the heavily weathered appearance.

Nicely done.

Take a drinking straw and paint it black.
Punch a small hole in the roof and stick the straw into it.

There's your exhaust!!!

Great idea.  I got paper straws too.  Hold paint better than plastic
