Rich, I think your walls look great!
I can't believe you still have all of those Floquil stains.
You lucky duck, I'm on my last few bottles of the stuff and will miss them when they are gone.

Rich,

I'll agree with the others, much better and looks natural to me.

Tom

I totally agree.

Thanks again Tom & Rick, I think I'm going to add a little more of the stains, it's still too dark for the most of it.

Thanks Greg. I have a wholesome supply of floquil paints and stains.
I search for them and buy them when they are the cheapest. So far, I have lucked out.
If I could liquidate the material objects in my train room, I have more objects than money.
Whatever that means!  With over 300 kits, some say I live in a hobby shop... my wife came in
the other day, and of course, I now keep the door locked! LOL

Phillip - What do you mean? I only have 155 bottles of floquil paints or so...

  I was at a sale and picked up about 60 bottles for $20. Mostly unopened.

Wow! Phillip, that's amazing! Good for you.
That's like if I die before my wife and she has no where to sell my kits,
whoever goes to Goodwill will be a happy camper.

I have a metal cabinet drawer full of Floquil paint bottles. Haven't opened that drawer in 30 years, unless I opened it by mistake, looking for something else.

Rich,  I mispoke. Those bottles are polly scale after double checking. So much for the nest egg~

Hello folks,

It's almost been two weeks since I posted to this thread, sorry for the delay.
I have been unable to sit comfortably at my work bench due to complications with
my medical problem. I went to see my Doctor yesterday, and although she thinks
I'm doing ok, she has no idea how this feels to me.

I'm working in bits and spirts on the diorama and will update when I can get a
substantial amount completed. Stay tuned.

Rich

[Rick]

Rich, hope you feel better soon.

[Dave Buchholz]

Get well soon my friend. I will assume you will be unable to travel this weekend.
Best wishes and more importantly prayers for a faster recovery.

Dave

[Jerry]

Took you long enough to go to the Dr.'s.
She doesn't know how it feels it not her leg!!! 

I hope you feel better.

Jerry

[Dave Buchholz]

Sounds like a Tom Petty tune.

"You don't know how I feel"

[Pennman]

Thanks Rick, Dave, & Jerry.

Jerry, what? They don't make housecalls anymore?
