Title: Northeastern Scale Models Shanty - A gift to a friend.
Post by: tom.boyd.125 on September 16, 2015, 02:18:44 PM

Here's a small laser cut wood shanty from Northeastern Scale Models , kit # NE 40005 assembled and painted with craft paints, that was given as a surprise gift to a local model railroader here last summer. That person invited me to several operating sessions over the last few years at his home since moving to Minnesota. I added a few fall peppergrass trees to the package. It has found a home on his pike.  :)

Nice shanty, Tom. Who is your source of peppergrass?

 My source of peppergrass is thru a gift shop here in Minnesota called Carroll Creek Crafts & Primitives.  It is only available twice a year in the spring & fall and at times the supply is very limited. Send me an email or contact me off list to place an order. She can have it directly shipped to your location, prepaid with your credit card, from the wholesale location, that then will bill her store. The store owner is Melissa Carroll.

Hi Tom:

Very nicely done. I like the colors. They are nice and subtle which is important. Nice work. Even small models can be cool.

Tom,

Well done. I like the two tone colors and like Karl said they are very subtle.

Tom ;D

Thanks for your comments and it's good to see your long recovery from surgery is coming along with positive results .
