I've been commissioned to create a log cabin for the new 6" G.I.JOE Classifieds series based on the classic 80's comic.

The specifications I've been given are 30" x 15" x 15", it is to be made from foam board and designed to be flat packed.  I have been asked to do both exterior and interior.

Unfortunately I do not own a 6" Snake Eyes, to help model the construction of this set will be Arnold.

With the sheets still drying, I have cut notches into the inside walls for the walls to fit into and for the floor.

When the sheets have dried I will start scoring the foam to make it look like a log cabin.

Off to a great start already I see.

Off to the front pages too.

Still working on the overall structure of this piece before going into detail.

Working on the foundations adding slots into the floor and then drawing on the "logs" on the front at 1" width.

Its nice to see progress. Back to the front pages.

Today I've finished marking out the logs for both the exterior and interior. I've cut out four windows and a door. I've also started scoring one of the exterior.

It is looking good to me.

Back to the front pages.

This is a really cool build. Thanks for showing the details of how you are assembling it. I think is going to be brilliant when finished.

[RCWCreations]

Thanks Starchaser, you should like the next part then!

Yesterday I spent time shaping the walls internally and externally, to look like they are made from lengths of wood.

My client asked if I could fit a door in one of longer walls between the windows.

The next steps are to score the floor and porch before starting on the roof.

Oh yeah, getting that log cabin feel now. Off to share.

Very cool! I like the weathering and the cables on the walls, they add a lot to the reality of the dio

The wooden floor is now done. I've marked out 6" x 1" beams running the width, then scored the floor before taking a wire brush running it width ways across the floor.

With this now done, it's time to work on the roof.

With the floor completed, it was time to bite the bullet and make the root.

Cutting two pieces 23" x 5.5" which gives 1.5" over hang on both sides and two smaller pieces which fitted inside the frame of the cabin. The roof pieces where glued onto them with PVA glue, when the pieces are dry I'll score the detail onto them.

The last piece to make before making the doors and windows is the stone chimney.

Wow this is looking awesome. Nice progress.

I've added a chimney breast using three 10 mm strips glued together, then scoring in bricks. I've also marked out 1" thick slats running the length of the roof. Just need to score these and then it's off to do the doors and windows.
