Does this belong in the HOW-TO? Maybe, but don't ask ME how to build this. This is waht the dudes and dudettes do in construction classes. It's not basswood or balsa, it's all cedar. You guys can figure out the rest.

It IS 1/18th scale and was probably 3.5'x3.5'x2' or so. Took 2 people to haul it around.

WOW that's a lot of ceder stick and wood glue. i like all the shots, but the last pic showing the interior, if i had not know I'd swear i was looking at a real house under construction.

it would take a lot of work but any one of us could make that if we follow construction blue prints of a home scale down to 1:18th of course

I believe most of us could do it too, Tracker. It'd take a lot of time and thought.

After the students are done, they either just chuck 'em or take 'em home. Steven, who did this one, has his at home and brought it in for a presentation in the Com170 class. Be fun to section that thing out and do a big firefight!

I had the understanding that it's NOT finished but it was 'finished' for the class, so it's all good. Whether or not he finishes it, I have no idea. But frak, I so want to go over there and put some Joes in there. Don't know if he'll let me.
