Cereal Box House -Stone Chimney

[jimmybeersa]

My latest House had to have a stone chimney,so I decided to use real stone. My son son was pouring concrete,so I sorted through the aggregate he was using and found some small chips, Glued them to a wood block shaped like a chimney filled the gaps with
white wood glue to look like the mortar and when dry painted it light grey

The retaining wall

This is the wall in place , The road disappears into the background
(I hope)

Absolutely beautiful Jimmy. Rock work and shingles shows your abilities to model very realisticly.
The road scene looks like you have captured the highfeld very well

That rock retaining wall looks like it's near Gettysburg. Reminds me of those stone walls all over Little and Big Round Top. Great work.

That looks great Jimmy! The house with the stone fireplace reminds me of a lodge I stayed at "up North" along Lake Superior!

The bridge on the disappearing road

These models are in HO went back to it due to failing eye sight for N gauge modeling
The bridge is across Backcreek which also disappears into the background The road surface is sand obtained in the Namib desert nice for roads as it is extremely fine

Beautiful Work!

That is some really nice stonework, Jimmy. I love the little bridge, too. There's nothing quite like a little one-lane bridge on a back country road....
