Today, I started to skin my barn. I free-lanced the base after reviewing the model on BTS's website. The skin was ordered from Deerfield Laser http://www.deerfieldriverlaser.com/Boats.html
My rail barge is free-lanced on a LV/Erie barge on the Hudson. I will cut the two turnouts (half on the barge deck and half on the float bridge). Cutting the angles on the base of the barge was tricky as I free cut it with a circular saw. The decking will be scratch built as well. I will be glueing strip wood (stained) to the deck and add bolyards and other detail. Enjoy!
