Hopefully you can stand one more photo of the back wall of the Tractor Repair & Sales building:

Added two shelves over the workbench, the area was lacking something, and populated it with more cans and bottles situated between the belts. Also added a small crate with cans inside, a hammer with the handle hanging over the edge of the bench, a pair of pliers, a bottle with water and one with acid for the battery, and lastly a black coffee pot; need coffee while working. I did order a few things from Wiseman which will finish up the bench and back wall.

Started on the right end wall. Being it's only 13 ft. wide on the interior it won't take much to detail the area. I added a large sign, from my computer files, which went high up on the wall and sort of over the window. The hand operated drill press is from SW and painted then hung on the wall by the window. Also hung a long chain from a hook under the sign. I have a floor jack which will go in front of the window and maybe a barrel in the front right corner.

Next I think I need to start on the floor for the building. I already have the base cut so I can build the floor right on top of that; please excuse the cat hair in front of the bench. That's it for now and as always thanks for stopping by and for your comments and/or suggestions.

Beautiful job Larry. Is that a soda machine on the left side or possibly a welding machine?

Hi Larry. Your tractor repair shop really is looking beautiful. I like all your details and tools.  Where do you get all the little detail stuff at Larry?  Thank you sir . Bob.

Howdy Larry, your continued detailing of the shed is looking great. Nice work as usual.  Have fun, mike

Larry, it's looking real good.
Might I suggest making boxes out of paper and a couple of wooden crates made from strip wood.
For the boxes you'd need paper a little stiffer than loose leaf but they're very easy to make.
And you can make a few different sizes.
Same thing with the crates.

Thanks Kyle, this is the fun stuff.

Jerry thank you. Any chance we'll be seeing some of your fine work here in the future?

Curt thanks. If you're referring to the green item on the far left; it's a locker with the hat and coat hanging on the side.

Philip thank you.

Bob thanks. Most of the details are from Sierra West. Brett has a few pages of 3D printed items that can be purchased besides his kits.

Mike thank you so much.

Rick thanks. The boxes are a good idea. I'll have to look through the photos I have of Roland's layout; I believe he made boxes from paper bags.
