N-Scale Picnic Table


I have been doing a bunch of reading about scratch building structures and ordered lots of styrene strips and sheets to start working on downtown buildings.  While I haven't exactly decided what type of building I want to attempt first, I did know that I needed a couple of picnic tables for the break area of the mill.  Using a picnic table plan that I found online and using .010 x .040 strip styrene, close to the N-Scale equivalent of a 2x6, I built the table top out of 5 strips and benches out of 2 strips side by side. It took me less than an hour and it turned out pretty nice.  Once I get a coat of paint on it, I think it will look great.
