This is going to be about as realistic as it gets.
Next to cutting down a tree in the forest!!

Hi Chuck.
I never thought you were a Wittler  I think that is the word.

[shropshire lad]

Fantastic as ever . I would like to see them being made out of styrene and see how realistic they would turn out !

[Bernhard]

Excellent observation of the prototype and accurate implementation into the model!

Thanks! Not sure I could get the effects I want from styrene, Nick.

I've been making some more progress on the sled. Got the second runner carved and have started the headblock where the fairlead rollers will mount. I'm using a square tipped X-acto blade to make the hand hewn effects. I watched some online videos to get an idea of how it's done. Reckon I'm about ready to build a real cabin now.

[Design-HSB]

Chuck, the effort you put into modelmaking, is clearly contributing to the excellent result.

[TRAINS1941]

That is really some nice chopping.

[Ray Dunakin]

Excellent work as usual. I like the hand-hewn look.

[Chuck Doan]

Thanks! I have your wood wall article out for coloring reference, Ray.

First fitting...

Well, of course it fits. And it is going to be quite a model. -- Russ

Perfect fit!  Would you do anything but have the sled as perfect as the tractor!!

Looking good an excellent bit of chipping !

I think it would be fun to watch you build a 1:1 cabin with an Exacto Knife.

Started playing with the wood coloring on one of the runner ends. Silverwood stain and Prismacolor Premier pencils so far. A long ways to go.
