Another beautiful photo, Paul. :thumb: I really like the way you layer textures and use a variety of materials in your scenery. Nice job!

Another great scene, Paul! :thumb:

Charlie, that's a great setting for a neat little house! Nicely done. :thumb:

Thanks, folks. Val, here is the final shot of the whole "kit." This is Weiry & Sons freight transfer shed and came as part of the original kit back in '83.

Val, this is a scan of the only other photo I have of the model. I took it 20 years ago, and the model was on a completely different layout than what I have now.

Thanks, Robin. I appreciate the compliment. :)

Thanks, Woodie. :)

Here is a photo of another structure I built with a tarpaper roof. I used essentially the same procedures I outlined above except I did not paint the paper first. It's just dusted with raw umber and gray chalks.

Hi, Jesper, I just saw your PM and question. Sorry I didn't respond sooner.:oops: I never remember to scroll to the bottom of the homepage to see if I have messages. :rolleyes: :oops: First off, I used two different materials for the tarpaper on my freight houses in the thread you cited...

Charlie, that's a really neat shot. I like the low camera angle - it's far more realistic than the usual helicopter shots most model photographers seem to take. And that autumn scenery.... :thumb:

Thanks, Charlie and Stu. I sincerely appreciate the compliments and comments. Stu, on a structure I recently scratchbuilt I also scratchbuilt one set of windows. I started to wonder half way into it if I needed to have my head examined. They came out "ok," but it's not something I'll do...

Thanks for the very generous compliments, everyone. Val, because of where the model is placed on my layout, this is as close as I can get for photos. I do have a closeup of Weiry's freight storage shed I can post, but it's on my other computer at home. I also have a photo of the model (on an...

Thanks, guys. Shamus, I wish I could claim it's scratchbuilt. Actually, it's a Builders in Scale kit. I built it in 1983. It's still one of my favorite structures.

Things are kind of slow right now at Weiry & Sons Well Drilling. But it's still early in the day...

Thanks, Tommy. Arlaghan, the chain link fence is fairly easy to make. The frame is made from pieces of wire ACC'd together over a simple template. The fence fabric is cut from bridal veil. I usually dry brush some rust colored paint over the material before cutting the fencing to size. That...

And one last fence shot...

And another with the fence...

Arlaghan, I have a couple more shots with the fence but they're not specifically of the fence itself. Anyway...

Jon must work in management, because he knows exactly why only one worker at a time gets a break. They congregate, light 'em up, and 10 minutes becomes 30 or 60 minutes. :D :D Kinda like high school kids with hall passes to the bathroom.... :D :D :D Thanks for the compliments, everyone. :)

It's break time at the vinegar plant.
