| Need a break from all these "hom'impruvm'nt" projects, so....
Began construction last night on building the permanant structure I had wanted to do for the BTS this year, but ran out of time for, the 3 "town" buildings were only "temps" for the show, I need them for the big layout. I had always planned for a mining structure on the top of the hill, so after some quick sketching I drew this up on the com'fuser:
Its a large facade that will go along the back in the same place the 3 "town" buildings were located. Construction is basswood on a foamcore backing, one nice thing about being indoors is that I can use much lighter, and much easier, construction technics, its going faster than I thought since I discovered I could cleanly cut the basswood siding with a large scissors

| I finished the Mine, its basswood and balsa stripwood on a backing piece of 1/2" foamcore, and am painting it now, My wife left our camera at a family members house, and now its gone AWOL  , so no pics for now, I'm considering just getting another one, a cheap backup camera, for just such a situation. | | | |
