Tent roofed building A

 I still have to finish my Western town Coffeyville, but naturally that didn't stop me from adding something that might look to the uneducated eye as a new project.

Pioneers in the Wild West often started with tent roofed buildings, which at a later time might be finished off with planks.

I'm planning a series of these structures, which could be used as a newcomers section to Coffeyville, or as the pioneer settlement of Coffey Gulch.

This example is just about the simplest version, without a wooden floor.

A bit of inspiration:


First step, the basic frame.


The frame with roof beams added.


Planks added to the lower half ot the walls.


The roof was covered with tissue paper, here it had already been treated with diluted white wood glue for added strength.


The "canvas" painted.


White was a bit too white for having been outside in all weather, so I gave the whole structure a wash. 


More similar but not identical buidings will be added.
