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.

D'oh! Forgot a fireplace/chimney!

I'll fix that...

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
