Progress is slow.

Having been hampered by the supply of cardboard and plasticard over the snowy Christmas period, only recently have I been able to return and continue the build of the shed.

Some time has been spent trying to find prototype images of the shed to identify the type of wooden panelling used in the construction of the shed. Unfortunatly, I have not been able to find any, so taking inspiration from a number of traditional Swedish wood construction buildings, I have replicated the board and batten method. Refering to the drawing this appears to be the closest method of construction.

The Wall board, is cardboard and the battens are a 1mm x 1mm strips of square section plasticard "Plastic-Weld'ed" in place on the cardboard. The great thing with the Plastic Weld is that it evaporates fast and thus does not soak the cardboard. It also evaporates out of the bottle at a rate of knots also...

One thing that has stumped me however, is what the interior wall panels would look like inside the engine shed. Again pictures are very scarce and those that I have found of the prototype are all of brick built construction.

As I understand some of the Highland lines sheds were of wooden construction so a question... does anyone know what the inside wall faces of a wooden constructed shed looks like inside?!

Anyway some pictures attached. The barrels are the usual Tamiya affairs and have been put together to try out the custom decals on a black background.
