I've been thinking about how I could use this recent Miniart building.. while also thinking of a setting for Hobbyboss's Land-Wasser-Schlepper... so, my question is.. could this building be used as overlooking some river with the LWS parked next to it? just wondering if that would be feasible.



Without using the ladder part, of course

Hisham

Hisham,

I think that would be a feasible idea. One suggestion I have would be to alter the brick work on the bottom so that it looks like concrete. Maybe smooth it over with plaster? Or replece with sheet styrene?

Dan

Hey, Dan,, thanks for the reply.

I was thinking since this one is a river embankment.. and the bottom looks similar to the other one.. then I could use the other one as is.



But I was wondering if such a shed could be directly overlooking a river.. and if the LWS would be used in such a river setting,

Thanks
Hisham

I spent 6 years in Germany and in my travels, can say that the shed would not be out of place. You could make it into a marina maintenance shed or storage shed? Maybe hang some life preservers on it? lay some oars around? A flat bottom dingy? Ther are definitly a lot of possibilities. The goods shed is a great start.

I'm not too sure about the LWS, though. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Dan

Hi Hisham,

I could easily see that building at the end of a boat ramp which could give you the possibility of have your LWS launching or landing. Don't know about the bricks under the loading dock. Might want to change those to wood pillons or steel.

Cheers, John

It certainly looks like the sort of thing you see around boatyards. I agree, just throw a few nautical things around it, like rope, chains, maybe some buoys. I don't think that you necessarily have to change the brickwork, etc. I've spent a lot of time in places like this (albeit in New England) but it looks like a couple of hundred buildings I have seen over the years.
