Well today I finished my first Scratchbuilt stucture. The shed walls were first mad of cardboard then wooden planks were added. I then placed windows and doors. Finlly I added the roof by cutting paper in strips to give it a shingle effect. Some light weathering chalk made it look like it had seen it’s better days. Enjoy the pics.

Looks great, are you going to give her a foundation? I use 1/2 in foam and cut some brick or cut stone patterns on the outside, paint them a concrete color and your set… oh and don’t forget the floor!
Hey Guys, Thanks for the suggestions, I think I’ll add a foundation to it! About the windows I had picked them up at Just trains they are Korber double hung windows which I painted Southern RR green. for the glass I got the plastic printer paper and sprayed it with Dull Coat, which gives it a frosted glass look. I just made an outhouse last night, but I need to add some trim.
I had thought about getting a kit, but some of them are pretty expensives, so I thought I’d give scratchbuilding a try, and hey it came out pretty nicely!
