Got this photo on the day I broke my shoulder

Dan H sent this real nice photo of the yard shed. I like seeing older kits .

Very good job, Dan. N-scale I assume....getting harder for me as the arthritis is getting worse. Looks like you scored the siding lines to make it stand out?

[Dan H]

HO, actually.

No, I didn't score the siding, it just looks really nice in this photo. I modified the kit to use the shiplap... I'm not sure why. I guess I just like shiplap.

I laminated the walls in three layers -- exterior print, black cardstock, interior print because I wanted to add an LED lamp, and I didn't want it shining through the paper.

I also put a papercraft dollhouse desk (reduced down to 1/87) and put it inside so it really looks like somebody's office.

Mel (and everyone else),
The interior walls come with the kit. IIRC, they are based on the Studs & Plywood texture.

View of the floor before I assembled the walls. The pot-bellied stove is just a stack of holes punched out of black museum board and cardstock. I didn't need anything fancy, because you can't really see it through the windows. But if it weren't there at all, it would have bugged me, because the roof has that chimney.
