Scratch building structures

This lumber yard was my first attempt at a scratch built building. I firstly cut lengths of pine to scaled timbers. I drew a scaled portal frame and made 6 frames. I decided to glue these to a plywood base for ease of positioning later which was a good move. Then I glued the roof rafters and floor in position and carefully laid the strips for the roof. (I left one side of the roof open to allow the saw mill to be seen). I then placed the two LEDs into positioned and hid the wires. Weathering of the timber work was then completed. At this stage I began to install details inside the building- mill, logs, timber stacks and strips.

Scratchs built lumber yard taking shape. Still a lot of details to be added.
