launching an idea.

[geezerman]

Realization is starting to sink in, Harron !
I'm starting to have reservations about this landscaping crap.
Firstly, I don't believe I can achieve the degree of 'reality' I want.
Secondly, It's not as much fun as building stuff !!! But I'll plug on, a bit at a time, but will start shaving off some of my anal thinking.

Like John, I'm taking another lil diversion. Remember the T that started this all out?
I have started junking it up a little. It's not gonna be a 'virgin' barn find.
Also, you may recall, I took the body and cowl to "play with, before I junked it". I don't have the heart to return it, because that build turned out better'n I thought it would.
So now, I have to come up with a cowl for the T.
It'll be a homemade one. I used a piece of cardboard (ala Brizio) and added it to the firewall. AHHHHhhh, it's good to be butchering plastic again !

Poor old Rusty! When I did the Revell A Woody I had a tuff time getting the engine weathered to my liking. Hard to know what would be non-rusty and with oil/grease and what to have what shade of rust. Yours is coming right along and what looks like seat damage will fit right in. Know anyone who sells 1/25 scale mice? Good luck on a challenge getting it properly derelict. We'll be watching!

This'll pretty much do it for one of the 'barn finds'

Gee, I don't know Geeze. It looks like you found that old thing in a barn or something... Maybe you should go buy a new kit and try again ? Greg.

Is the gravel it's sitting on part of the dio also? The T looks old and forgotten.

Yeah, that's going to be under an awning roof at the rear of the bldg.

That will go perfect

[bob29579]

Cool. This is coming along fantistic.

[geezerman]

Now what ?
The old fool is heading off into limbo again !!!!

[dogfish7]

I'm seeing a shelf..... with parts on it....

[zbuckster]

I was thinking maybe a stand for a grinder or some other piece of shop equipment.

[bob29579]

I'm seeing imagineering at it's best. Step by step.

[geezerman]

Just another something to filll up some space.


That dam tree close to getting planted !!

[zbuckster]

That water pump looks sweet sitting there beside the building. Nice touch.

[geezerman]

Tree has been planted, gas and water pumps set, screen door hung and the canopy started... whew!
