WOW! What a great looking structure, Karl.
Well done, my friend

Excellent choice of subdued colors. The figure and other details really pull it together.

Hi All:

Here's a progress photo. The side shed is finished. Brian did his board by board which would be very easy over card stock. I did mine with batons over tar-paper. I didn't want to do the same thing. Hope you like the photo. This is being done as a tribute to Brian but also as a model for my friend George. The lady on the porch is Diane his wife. The dog is Ivy who is no longer with us but well remembered. she was a yellow Lab and my very good buddy. This will be a complete diorama signed and dated by me for him as a piece of art he can display in his home.

Awesome work Karl. A great tribute and a great gift.

I think your use of materials for the side shed has turned out rather well.


Regards
Wes.
Dont leave for tomorrow what you can do today.

Hi Wes:

Glad you liked the side shed. The structure is now on a base and the rest will follow.

Hi All:

Got the front and rear scenery done. Also installed the gas pump and started on the right side. Here's a photo of the front.

Karl,

Looking good. I would weather the pump a bit more. Looks too new.

Hi Frank:

Thanks. It's already taken care of. I dry-brushed it after it dried on the base.

Karl,

I think you need to add a nice weathered Jordan car on the left side of the building.

Hi Frank:

You gonna build it? When can you get it here? I hate building those things.
