Great pics what part of the country is this?

Awesome structure Bill !!!!
A great find indeed, that sag in the roof is just perfct, (although it would never happen in the 'real' world..... blah , blah, blah)
So many great aspects to incorporate into our modelling.
The more you look the more you see, one thing after another.

Thanks for posting.

Daryl- This is in Southwest Wisconsin...it's outside of a little town called Boscobel.

Karl-good call on the roof sag! When I went back to look at the sag, I noticed how the pine needles/moss seem to collect or grow in straight lines in the sags between the rafters. Also on closer inspection, I saw that the porch has a rusty metal roof and...did you spot the weeds growing in the rain gutters?:




One more to add..there was a barn on the property as well. Peeling paint, hoses, jugs, old storm windows, etc.

thanks for the pics Bill - looks like a detailers dream...

Actually , this is a good example of how most people get it wrong when they try and reproduce peeling paint on clapboard siding . What you will notice is that the paint has been worn off rather than peeled and the parts of the building that are better protected against the weather have more paint remaining. This is the way that I try to reproduce weathered sidings when I do them .
Maybe these photos should be posted on the RRL Forum to show all those there what they should be doing rather than the "toothbrush splattered" method that they seem to have adopted .

Whoever has said that roofs don't sag like this in real life doesn't have a clue what they are talking about . There are hundreds of examples in Britain of old houses with saggy roofs that are perfectly habitable . But , of course , you know that Karl , don't you !

gotta love the "that doesn't happen in real life crowd"... they just like to hear themsleves talk aloud!! They need to get off their a** and go have a look around. These pictures illustrate many examples of this syndrome now called the "tdhirlc" dis-order...

snappy name for that syndrome . I'll have to try and remember it . What does the "f" stand for ?

what "f"????

fartscale ??

Ah, yes, one of those scales that always seems to grow to fill the room...

hah!!
