Smile Hangar workshop

Great weather here yesterday in the Great White North ,so I finally got to start on the workshop that will be contained in the Jenny hangar.It will be a totally self contained unit ,a sort of diorama within a diorama.It will have a quick disconnect for the electrical wiring within the workshop.(I still havent figured out the wiring for the rest of the hangar yet)

I will use foamboard as imitation insulation on the workshop walls and on the interior walls I will frame them and use boards set on an angle for the sheathing.(just to add a little visual interest)The workshop floor will also be done crisscross fashion)
I am not using pins for nails this time as I find them a little overscale.If you pre-punch a small hole in the floorboards and then with a sharp ordinary HB pencil, twist the tip into the hole, it looks just like a nail and more in scale.Do this of course after any other weathering you do on the boards, except for the subtle use of pastels. to be cont..... Cheers! John.
