1# Business Card Structures

This is the first in a new short-series: five structures created from business cards. Construction will be primarily out of either one or two standard business cards. Most will be in the 1/87 scale. My first structure is a 3.25 by 4 scale feet tool shed.

The walls were scribed with random widths boards. I used some of the card for thinly cut boards for the roof. I used thin paper painted to represent tar paper and added a few “shingles” placed randomly on the roof to mimic a weather worn roof. Material for the shingles came from some very thin corrugated cardboard.

Who Knows Where We might End-up?

You really don’t know whether Farmer’s literary mentions are “real” or are part of his Wold Newton mythos. Here are a few mentioned in his Hadon of Ancient Opar:

1. A correlation between Gondoroko and the wilds near Khokarsan: “L’E’ tonnant voyage de Hareton Ironcastle, J. H. Rosny.
2. Remains of Atlantis: “The Queen of Atlantic”, H. Rider. (No definite outcome)
3. Title explains it well: “Heritage of the Flaming God: An Essay on the history of Opar…”
4. “An Inhabitant of Carcosa”, Ambrose Bierce.

The Cray Valley Railroad

I learned about the Cray Valley Railroad through my reading of Narrow Gauge and Shortline Gazette. The article, written by Peter Bartlett, was about his Hon30 railroad. Bartlett a native of England models an American narrow gauge prototype.

I am truly amazed by Bartlett’s roster of locomotives. The Cray Valley Railroad features dozens of steam, locomotives and critters of both types. This layout is truly a one of kind.
