Hi All:

Hi Guys:

I'm building a plastic kit for the first time in years. It's for a friends layout. We shall see how I do.

Karl

Hey Guys:

This one is next.

Hi Guys:

Here's something thought you might be interested. This tree is mad from yarrow after it has bloomed and died off. Saw some around a parking lot and asked the owner if I could pick some. I think I may just plant a couple in the back yard. The top picture is how it came off the bush

Here's a few photos. The first one is of the the dead flower as I picked it. The second one is of it after sprayed with liquit adhesive and then sprinkled with Woodland Scenics #T1363 Light Green Coarse Turf.

Cheap way to make nice trees.

Hi All:

Will be building the Sierra West Logging camp. My friend just wants me to build the structures with out bases so he can install them on the layout easier. It would be a rather large diorama.

I think I will start with Main street.

Hi Guys:

Started the Water Tank & Tool Shed A few days ago. Here's a few progress photos. I decided to go with colors rather than the super weathered look. It has a detailed interior. Sink and toilet are installed so far.

Karl

Hi All:

I finished up this morning. Here's the final photos.

Hi Guys:

Starting on Avram's Bakery. Need some opinions on the color for the walls. I used George's formula.

1) Apply Floquil grime as A stain by dipping brush in the paint and thinner. Let dry.

2) Apply Floquil Foundation by the same method.

3) Apply light A&I Stain.

Let me know if you like this color OK.

Thanks Karl

Hi Guys:

Finished the kit today:

Here's the final photo. Hope you like it.

Hi All:

Here's my next project. The Franklin Watchworks.

Karl

Hi All:

Found this garage behind a restaurant I eat in. This is a perfect building for George to add to the F&SM. Just his type of weathering from trees to junk. Enjoy.

Karl

Hi All:

I will be starting shortly. Lynn B And I will be building this guy together as we did with the pile driver. I think Reading Bob said we was gonna start his shortly so maybe he will join in with us. I will be interesting to see our different takes on things.

Karl

Hi All:

Finished up the pile driver this afternoon. Here are the final photos.

Karl

Hi Guys:

Here's the next project. FSM'S Pile Driver #105. It's an older kit but it's kinda neat.  I scratch built one many years ago. Hope all will enjoy and follow along.
