Yup you guessed it.....more details:



This is a little "make shift" bench sitting on top of two stacks of wood blocks. Theses were a few of the details that I acquired from Jerry awhile back; may as well put them to good use. The box of metal parts and a couple of other metal parts on the bench were colored with gun metal paint. Everything thing else was colored with chalks and clear alcohol. The bench was weathered with black powder.



Another view of the same bench.



Her's a wooden barrel with more metal parts inside and an old washtub with even more metal parts. Theses were colored in the same fashion as the bench.



So if you put all the details together you have what the left hand side and back corner will look like; of course nothing is glue in place until after the walls are detailed. I needed something for the corner so I went through the parts boxes and came up with a 50 gal. drum and a few 25 gallon ones to help fill the corner and another small drum with a propane tank sitting on top. Added a broom, have to be somewhat neat in the Shop, as well as a trash can filled with discarded metal parts.

Now it's onto details for the right hand and the back floor areas before starting on the actual walls themselves. I already have the four machines and they will come later but they do fit to give me the look I'm going after. Thank you for following along and for all your great comments and/or suggestions. Stay tuned.

Curt, Mj, Rick, and Jerry thank you guys for your kind comments.

Curt not sure if I could even do HO sized details; those are really small.
