Staining all round

Both the roof and the actual building are now stained, making it look less like a newly constructed building, and more like a dark woody coloured frame, although the outside parts will be covered in wooden boards.

What you can see in the next picture is not just a big mess (the stain melted away the styrofoam i sit my wood on, so using it creates nice long brown trenches), but several of what will become the wooden boards of the little shack that will be placed in my Newman and Port Hedland Iron Ore Railway. No, these are not scale 2" x 6" wooden boards or even 1" x 6" wooden boards, but paper, cut into thin strips and stained. These paper boards are what will cover the side of the little shed. They are stained now so that when they are viewed from the inside, it will not show their paper origin.
