After taking stock of my collection of parts I decided that building a 1/25th scale junk yard was in order. here's a few pieces I have started including a scratch build old camper, to represent the yard office. the main panels of the camper are made out of that plastic version of corrugated cardboard cut from an post office bin I had laying around. Being bad at math I hope I calculated the scale right. I also tried Geezerman's baking soda rust method, discovered in the forum tutorial section, on the front end of a '29 Lincoln. tom Attachments:

Good start. The front half of that Model A has seen a couple better days. Nice job on the weathering.
