P Bellamy Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Excellent stuff, although the second image shows an American Quonest hut being craned, you can't do that with a Nissen. All the best, PB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivor Ramsden Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Here's a 1:1 scale version that we built to house the Morris C9b. The insulation between the inner and outer skins makes a huge difference to the temperature inside. I know that because we didn't insulate the first one that we built and in there you either melt or freeze, depending on the season. The Nissen hut is a brilliant piece of design.
