I will be looking forward to your next build and scenery lesson.

Rich,

Thank you, much appreciated. My next build and scenery adding won't be until late October or early November.

I have the month of August to work on my book and starting in September, I plan to paint a few of my brass locos.

Quote from: Larry C on July 22, 2025, 09:34:46 AMTom very nice!!!! The details you've added really makes the scene pop.

Larry,

Thanks very much. The added details are really what the finished garage needed to look like a back woods auto shop.

Quote from: friscomike on July 22, 2025, 10:51:08 PMHowdy Tom,

The garage continues to look fantastic with the details. I especially like the slick grease spot by the pump. Neat!

Have fun,
mike

Mike, Howdy,

Thank you, appreciate you taking the time to stop by. The grease and oil stains are AK Shaft and Bearing Grease Stain.

I agree, the grime and stains are what we all have in the 1:1 world.

That's both A Good Thing and A Bad Thing.... We'll look forward to the next time you clutter up your workspace.

"ungrimed" work area

Rick · July 24, 2025, 07:12:46 PM

There should be a fine for having a bench that neat.
Just kidding.

I look forward to the next project and a messier desk.
