Here is the shed half completed. All that it needs is the roof! This shed it turning out better than I expected, so I am happy with it so far, and more will be shown soon of its progress.
Emily actually looks quite at home inside, and pretty realistic the way this shed is being modeled! Here in this picture, you can see the thickness of the foam core around the windows. I glued strips of brick-colored card to make it show the trim of the window frame's brickwork being unpainted, compared to the plastered walls, and wooden panel slapped on the lower half of the interior wall.
These A-frame girders turned out well, here being shown before they're covered up with the roof. Each rests on the semi-column of the wall.
After some thought, I decided to make two roof windows to let light inside, and this allows the viewer to look inside and see the intricate girders. It was fun making these things from scratch!
So were the wooden ends! Here, similarly to the carriage shed on the Skarloey railway, these painted wooden planks cover the A-frames on each end. Instead of paper, I tried using individual strips of balsa glued together on a card in the back, and used two pieces for the gable.
Half done, right now I am working on the roof and glass. That will be posted soon.
