STRUCTURE BUILDING - The Foamcore/Veneer method
An OnLine Clinic presented by HORAILROAD.COM
        
 Advanced Concepts/examples
Throughout the clinic we've been working with a single type of veneer on a structure.  Here is an example of three different veneers on one.

At the base is a block foundation.  This went on first making slight overlap joints as explained for cinderblock in the basic clinic. Above that are clapboard for  the front of the structure and 
board/batten for the back of the structure. 

The clapboards needing repair are a technique I learned from Howard Zane using a chisel point hobby blade to lift sections of the clapboard.
