Model of the Russian railway lineman house for "garden". Scale 1:25.

I'm going to retire to a finishing school, sit in a wheelchair, watch tv, and drool on myself. I can't match this.

Ray, Lawton, Barney - thanks for support!

Gradually I approach wooden constructions on "estate".

Preparation of timber on a door. Material - a beech (the old parquet hoard is used).
For production of a rabbeted board I have no mills therefore, as well as in age-old times, assembly of a cloth of a door will be conducted on a rectangular spline.

Cutting of splines 2 x 0.8 mm:

Ready boards - 5 x 2.5 mm in size (corresponds to the size 5" * 2½" the original) and splines 2 x 0.8 mm:

P.S. Once again I ask forgiveness for the awful translation of specialized terms - though I and I translate some words by means of the Russian-English structural dictionary, not all words are in it...

It is more than photo, in the bigger permission in a photo album to flickr'e: Строительство модели Сторожевого дома с надворными постройками.

[Ray Dunakin]

If I'm understanding the photos correctly, the construction of the door is just like building a real door? Very cool!

[finescalerr]

Nice job. -- Russ

... the construction of the door is just like building a real door? ...

Nice job.

Yes - I have tried to reproduce not only the appearance (photo at home with a door - the first photo in the subject), but also to try to repeat the constructive shield doors.

Ray, Russ! thank you for your praise of my labors - it encourages the continuation of the construction (and publications).

"Civil" finished work on the vestibule, on the line - the roof, porch, painting, hanging doors, glazing:

Dmitry, that looks very good even with no finish on the wood.

[Lawton Maner]

Do not paint this. 

The texture of the wood leaves one with an impression of mass and strength.  And, sitting here with winter outside, the padding the vestibule is sitting on gives the feeling of winter and cold.  Not only great modeling but also wonderful feeling of the environment the piece is built for.

[finescalerr]

I agree with Lawton. The model could not be more beautiful. -- Russ

[kudrdima]

Thanks to all responded in a very flattering assessment of my efforts!

Models to be "stay" outside the home, at a future garden railway. However, the climate of St. Petersburg (Russia) are very harmful to the wood is not protected.
What would keep the texture wood, I plan to impregnate and cover the wooden elements Pinotex (Sadolin) material:

That is really gorgeous!

That is really gorgeous!

Ray, thank you for your kind words - I'm trying!

The wooden part of the almost finished and impregnated with an antiseptic - remains to be defined with historically accurate colors: the walls and finishing elements:

Dmitriy,

this is outstanding. It's too bad that you will have it outside in the garden, abandoned to those somewhat harsh weather conditions  . It's already very convincing as it is; one giveaway is the rather bold color at the gable's timber. I think some additional weathering to get a unifying look with roof and walls would add to it. Phew - each of your updates keeps me being amazed. Really remarkable craftmanship. Keep up that great work!

Cheers,
Volker

Keep the model in the house except on the days you operate the trains outdoors. -- Russ
