First attempt at scratch building.

[eightyeightfan1]

The only scratchbuild I ever mocked up was the horse barn. Instead of trial and error with plastic, I first constructed the barn, less doors and windows, out of cardboard, holding it together with Scotch tape. Once I got the walls and roof right. I used the cardboard pieces for patterns when I cut the plastic.

Oh, by the way, the reason the two barns roofs are curling up is that my layout is in the attic, and the heat in the summer, with the Campbell shingles shrinking(a theory fo mine), the roofs are curling up.
