Skinner's Row

[trainfan13]

Greg,
I just learned of RR-Lines demise when I went looking for any new photos of your Magoun pier module. The last image I have recorded was 23074, a "black & White" art shot. August 2024, I think. Where will this be placed in relationship to the other buildings? Any other updates? As usual I stand in amazement of your talent.

Best regards
Frank Rawson

Hi Frank, I'm honored that you came looking here on "Modeler's Forum" for my Magoun pier after "RRLines" rather sudden demise.
I have not started a new thread here yet on the "Modeler's Forum" regarding Magoun pier.
This FSM's Skinner's Row kit was my very first posting here showing how this particular kit came out looking.
In regards to it's placement on Magoun pier, this is where it sits now across the street from the other original structures "Alessi lighthouse constructors" & "Testard Mathematical Instruments".
This placement might change in the future if I ever get to build a larger layout for Magoun pier to be finally attached to.
I just wanted something new for visitors to see on my module, for the "Doubleheaders" layout tour that I was recently a part of this year.

Hi everyone, I have now finally finished everything on my Skinner's Row diorama scene.
Last time I showed you this I still had not finished all of the scenery work, and also the power poles and wires & street lights and also adding some figures to the street.
Hooking up the string used for the power lines turned out to be the hardest thing to work with.
That string seems to have a mind of it's own, and does not want to hang the way you would like it to.
I have used EZ line in the past but found that it becomes brittle over time and does break, so I thought I'd give the string that came with the kit a try.
 It was an overcast day here today, perfect for taking some outdoor photos to show you how things came out looking.



I ended up using the Campbell's streetlights that came with the kit and electrifying those to work to light up the street.
Here's how those came out looking.



Thank you for having a look!

Beautiful Greg!  Simply beautiful.  I love the lighting you've done.  Heck everything looks great!

Howdy Greg,

The finished product is amazing.  The lighting is well placed in all the structures and on the street. That Model T panel truck looks great.  You have a lot to be proud of with this scene.  Congratulations.

Have fun,

Greg,

You certainly know how to build, how to detail and should be very proud of all your success with modeling. I know we are. Your builds are always "eye candy" and are a joy to view, finished or not.

You mentioned a while back you want to see some of my modeling, well, me too! LOL I have a few more 1:1 projects to complete for the lady of the house before that can happen, but I will be back.

Just love looking at your threads.

Rich, thank you for your always kind thoughts!
Please get those jobs done for your wife, so that you can start to share your modeling work with us once again.
I also have to get our cottage opened this weekend for the family to enjoy.
The work never seems to end.

Greg, I didn't think you could make it look any better but you proved me wrong.
I should know better. 
Great job on a contest winning diorama.

Rick, thank you so very much!
I'm glad you think it's a winner!

ENSIGN!
Glad to see you posting on this forum!
 I thought your Magoun Pier posts might be lost forever.
A hearty welcome from the management of the North Coast Railroad.

Hi Dave, I am sorry for the late reply, I just returned from opening up our cottage.
Thank you for your hearty welcome and for your kind thoughts!
