Summer's winding down and the push to wrap up a number of house-maintenance projects is underway. Got a cord of firewood being delivered today, and there's still a fair bit of painting that needs to be finished outside. Normally I'd cut/split firewood myself, but I'm just not feeling it this year...wimping out, lol.
Finished off Carstens' suburban station this week:
A few modifications to HC's plans, primarily with regards to the platform roof's dimensions and covering, and the addition of the raised platform base. Look closely and you'll notice I butchered the flashing on the roof. Martin suggested using some copper foil for flashing, which I actually have a bit of for use on ship model hulls; I just couldn't lay my hands on it. Used some painted cardstock instead, and the dimensions are a bit off (not to mention the lapping).
So back to the 253 next.
