Scratchbuilt log cabins
« 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.

They are quite superb! The top one is a monster.

The sickle in the fruitful field;
The sword he sung a song of death,
But could not make the sickle yield."
