The last pic on the previous page is a series of various signs that I plan to put up on the Jenny diorama.Red Indian gas sign is something I just made up.

Rearwall panel,inside.Sheathed with tongue depressors and pine studs.The foamboard is sandwiched between inside and outside layers of sheathing.That is why it takes soooo long.
