I started another cardboard project. This will be the Dothan depot. The real one looks like this:
I started by cutting out the basic shape, noting that half of the depot is two-story and half is not. I made the "core" as kind of an L-shape, and then made the lower roofline to wrap around the entire building and an upper roof on top.
Robin was famous for his cerealboard. I have "silkboard", a product of the container that holds two Silk (soy milk) cartons that are a necessity for lactose-intolerant family members. Parables about purses and sow's ears come to mind.
Here is the other side after I added the lower roof and started on the bay window section trackside.
Fial positioning of the lower section. Got silk?
Here's what it looks like this evening. I added the windows and doors and patched some gaps with lightweight spackle. I did make one pretty obvious error, that being I made the pitch of the roof to shallow. In the real one, the roof over the single-story part is much steeper. Oh well.
Will take a break for now, so I can figure out how to do the roof tiles.
