Jack's New Place...
Old Jack who is the supervisor of the Winnegance and Fiddler's reach and his wife are finally getting their new home. She was tired of sleeping in the caboose!
I molded some resin windows last winter and had drawn up some plans. I finally got around to building the house this weekend.
I used 3/8" plywood, A/C I guess, found it at the transfer station. I think someone had just been installing a bathroom. I milled it to represent clapboards using a dado cutter in my table saw. laborious but looks pertty good. I sawed out the walls, then joined them using Red Cedar scrap which I also used for the trim and gingerbread.
I was inspired by a house on the Main Road (route 209) here in town. I haven't added the big front pourch they have though nor the "L" and barn. a scale house gets big in 1:20 scale even if you shrink it a bit.
