Yet another way to make wrapped lumber loads (feedback please)

[bigfoot13]

Working on another way to make custom wrapped lumber loads. What's your opinion on which looks better?

 

[PMW]

They look good, nice work. I voted for the one on the left

Thanks @PMW. That one is a gel ball point pen. The right is upholstery thread. The bundle is made from printed cardstock and painted with matte medium.

The one on the left looks more like metal banding. Nice job.

The technique appears to work well with n-scale tool. Bought this bulk head flat car by Wheels of Time. Nice looking little car. Just might have to make a little switching layout for it.

I like the left better as well.

Nice work. I make the labels on a good ink jet printer, then glue them to balsa blocks. I weight them with BBs put into holes drilled into the bottoms of the "bundles".

Would you be willing to share photos of your loads?

It's always a great feeling when a model turns out so well, you want to make a layout around it.

Sure, when I get back home in a week or so.
