Shaygetz,
Those are great! I see those and my mind says " build a mower repair shop"!:p
Is the high wheel one is a yazoo or roof?

Amazing!:thumb:

Thanks, Philip. I actually do have a welding/small engine repair shop on my module. Three mowers and it still looks kinda nekkid soze there's at least 2-3 more coming, hoping for maybe 12-15 total. As for the make, I worked at a retail department store for 8 years that sold Murrays. They are actually red but I kinda liked the green so I went with that. Trouble with mowers is I've only seen them in 4 color schemes; red (Murray, Toro, Snapper), green (John Deere), orange (Kubota, Ahrens) and yellow (Cub Cadet). Any prototype justification for other colors would be greatly appreciated as I'd like not to repeat colors too often.

Lawnboys are green. Jacobsons were light blue from memory. Ford riders were blue, and Allis were orange. A Case rider that was tan/orange. Build a few tillers too. Toro were red. Fred

There ya go. Have a few Troy Built tillers or similar in that shop as well.

Also, at least in my area the current Murray Lawn Mowers being sold are black now instead of red.

Yet again an amazing bit of scratchbuilding.

Don't forget weed whackers as well. Those should actually be pretty easy to make, all you would need is the shape for the motor (certain brake detail parts come to mind) and a bit of wire for the long shaft with some styrene for the string guard and of course some small fishing line for the string glued to a small round bead or something.

And then there are Chainsaws, Go Karts, Small outboard motors for boats,
Gasoline powered emergency generators.....

There are quite a few small engine powered do dads out there that could be found in such a shop.

I don't know about you southeners , some of us diehards up here just wait for the ice to melt then it's a go. Gives us 4 months then before we think of putting the seadoos away and start tweaking the snowmobiles again. It also means 4 months of those dang lawn mowers you make Shaygets before the snowblowers eventually come back into the picture

:D Sorry shaygetz, didn't mean to insult you! My friends say that guys can't use the word "cute" so I try to use it as much as I can just to annoy them. LOL Outstanding and incredibly awsome would probably be a much better thing to say.

I think we should add your brick hitting smily to the list of smilies.
