Larry, nice work on the figure painting and scenery.
The rocks you added are a nice touch.

Here's an update:

The scenery material is officially finished! Added a lot more scrub grass from the boulder forward to add some interest and added some overgrowth to the right front corner. Colored the last figure, Jethro,  and placed him watching the new fangled two cylinder steam engine. Mrs. Hank strongly suggested adding a flowering bush by the boulder; you know happy wife....happy life.

Here's the entire front of the diorama. Besides the weeds and grasses, I added a pallet from Rusty Rail and three drums(containing lubricants for the Shop) from Sierra West. All in all I'm extremely pleased with the way this diorama is turning out.

Next will be painting, weathering, and assembling another Ford TT pickup along with an air compressor which will be the load on the new truck which will be backed up to the Shop waiting to be unloaded. Thanks for stopping by and for all your great comments and/or suggestions. Stay tuned.

I like Elle's suggestion about the flower!  :)

Did you tell that guy curiosity killed the cat??

Great job Larry.  Everything you're adding seems to be falling into place nicely.

Jerry thank you so much. I think Jethro is counting on the "9 lives" rule.

Curt thanks; it's coming along.
