I find it a little strange that you decided to build the boom first, but it's your build and your rules. You said you were not going to build by a scale but I would suggest you re-think that. It doesn't have to be highly detailed to be a great model but if you pick a scale and use that for all your measurements then everything will be in proportion and the model will look realistic. How do you know what size to make the boom point sheaves? Just an example of how things get complicated without a scale. Looking at the house I would say you are building a large model. Maybe you should try to figure a scale from that and see how it goes. Good Luck
