Moo-rian cow shade

The Central Experimental Farm has a few of these cow shades scattered throughout the pastures, so naturally I had to have one for the layout. I haven't scratchbuilt anything in awhile so I figured this would be an easy reentry. 

It's built from leftover pieces of wood from the scrapbox. The verticals and beams are 1/8" square balsa strip, and their stabilizing diagonals are 2x4 scale lumber. The roof is basswood and balsa sheets glued together so their grains are perpendicular to each other.

The outer roof panel is the balsa bit. For old times sake, and to make the shade stylistically similar to other buildings on the layout, I pulled out the woodburning tool and scribed in the shingles Moore-style.

Cowabunga!
