Hi Jerry, guys, as I explained to Brett earlier, I had a bit of a set back. That is, my daughter , Gabrielle ( age34) , was diagnosed with lymph cancer so that took me away from modeling for a while. Fortunately she took the chemo very well and is as good as recovered. I did manage to paint all the castings, that needed less concentration and I could set my mind on other things than the disease. I will start again very soon, so no panic, as soon as things get back to normal, I will start posting again. There's a roof that needs to be mounted...
I do follow every move you guys make and am happy many nice builds are being presented.

And like a rather famous Californian / Austrian , big guy once said..... I'll be BACK...

So nice to here that Gabrielle is doing well that is a rough road. I had head and neck cancer last treatment ten years ago. I know how she feels but it will get better...Carl...

Thanks for you support guys. Everything will work out fine. ... Including the sawmill.. Just got to get used to seeing her without hair... But that will grow again.

Prayers for Gabrielle. That certainly puts things in proper perspective. So glad she's on the mend.

Back in business, the wall from the maintenance room. As Brett stated in the manual, do not copy, rather try to get the feel of it. So I did and made extra shelves to put on stuff.
I always try to get the logic in the placement of things. Why would a certain part hang, stand or be where it is ? Does it make sense ? It is easy to just scatter everything around, but does it feel right....
Anyway, the beat goes on...

Looks fantastic Robert!...love the ladder and the hangers for it. Once again your wood tones are wonderful. That...coupled with your detail work, makes for a superior result, heck of a piece of work...Ken

Beautifully detailed as usual, I love the ladder hanging on the wall.

Robert, every time I look at one of your projects, I just love the details of your wood. The worn ladder rungs look just great.

Joel

Jerry

Beautiful detailing.

The ladder hooks are a clever idea.

Robert, texture. color and detailing on the wood is fantastic. That is one well used ladder, a nice touch. The labels on the cans is also nice.

The first mini scenes come to life. Whilst waiting for things to dry, I made the shelves, and placed the engine and boiler. Of course, more weathering and covering of the ground will be done later.

Just amazing Robert. I am lost for words

Rope handles are great. Also, I'm looking at your sawhorses and the ones I just built, and mine make me sad.

KKarns

Details on the first pic are superb!...Love the glass bottle.

Robert.G

Thanks guys, I do spend a lot of time searching for a natural layout in the composition of the different details. Like I was gonna make a painting. As I said before, there has to be a Logic in the placing of everything. I figured the rope handles would be a nice upgrade for the castings.

The sawhorses were modeled after the ones I use in my restoration workshop.

Soon more...
