Kyle thank you for the nice compliment; much appreciated.

[Jerry]

Larry a very nicely done work bench!
Your doing some really nice scratch building these days.

Jerry

[Larry C]

Jerry thank you. I'm trying to scratch build as much as
I possibly can then add the details; just looks better as
opposed to buying something like a bench with things cast in.

[elwoodblues]

Larry, you know, that bench would look better with more junk and oil on it.

Seriously, the bench looks well weathered and well used, can't wait to see what you do next.

[Larry C]

Ron thank you. I still have to add more tools and such as soon as I figure
out what I want on there.

[Larry C]

The back wall is coming along nicely. The locker is from SW primed grey then added some green chalks which I blended in and hit the details on it with some grey as well. The hat and coat makes for a nice touch. Added a 3x12 board over the shelf and bench which were populated with some chains and belts  made from very thin strips of Tyvek painted black; also added a coil of rope made from heavy thread. Used a pencil as a form to make the belts; not perfect but convincing. The hangers are ends of track pins glued in place to hang the chains and belts; left one empty where a belt once hung. Also added a couple of signs on the wall.

I have about a half dozen details primed and ready for paint that I'll get to the next few days. Still have to hunt through my parts and see what I have for the bench; may have to order a couple of items from Wiseman.

That's it for now and as always thanks for stopping by and leaving your comments and/or suggestions.

Larry, wow, the wall looks dynOmite.  Congrats on successfully attaching all those details to a believable wall.  Have fun, mike

[Philip]

Nice details!

[Rick]

Larry, grat job.
Really like the coloring and weathering on the locker.
Maybe think about put those paper sleeves around those fan belts that you usually see.
I think it would look good and get them to hang better.

[Larry C]

Curt, Mike, Phillip, ad Rick thanks so much for the compliments.
Rick I agree with you about the belts; I'll break out some tweezers
and see what I can do.

[Philip]

Rick slows down Larry with those product sleeves. Great idea!

[elwoodblues]

Larry, the wall is really coming alive now.

The wall, details and weathering are all spot on. Fantastic job and build.
