Slave Cabin

I have finally finished the slave cabin model for the Sumter County Museum in Sumter South Carolina. The real cabin exists on their property, but is in the middle of a hunting preserve and is fairly rundown, not to mention the presence of snakes and wild boars.



The model is in 1:24 scale, where a 1/2 inch equals a foot. The building is 16' wide x 16+ ' high x 48' long, so the model is 8" x 8" x 24".



It is made so the roof can come off to show the interior, which includes beadboard and random width boards, and a double fireplace as this is a duplex.





I also made little hinges of metal and fishing line, that has been rusted with a patina chemical. All the doors and shutters open and close.
