I have a few hours in tonight....and the progress is slow...

Jeroen

So… yeah… I’m kinda speechless. The quality of your paintwork and finishes are breathtaking and I still find it difficult to comprehend how much detail Brett managed to cram into a kit so small. Mine seems to have arrived in the Netherlands so with a bit of luck I can pick it up over the next couple of days. Time to have a look at this little wonder in the flesh…

Boy time flies when you're waiting for an update!

It's already January 2023!!
I guess there should be a smiley there.

Thanks so much for your kind and appreciated words Jeroen. I hope to see and enjoy following your version soon.

There's alot going on here right now Jerry, but...

Here's a small update for you my friend,

Today I added in the empty and full oil bottles to the "refill" scene. Which fills it out nicely, maybe a couple of rags and a wrench and then this scene is done.



I love that pic above, but, I'm going to throw this second one in anyway, even though it's kind of 'contrasty'.



I also made the door for the front of the structure and am currently re-sorting out the wood to build the roof hatches and the ladder.

Thanks for checking in,

Karl. A

(Damn, I need to add some nails to that pallet, I cant believe I missed that obvious detail, after all, I did it on all the other pallets, slacker, ha. )

Wonderful! So much to take in here...

KKarns

It's amazing how long it takes to create a beautiful clutter scene like that! Love the oil bottles...

kebmo

it looks excellent (i really wanna get this kit). i just have one question: where are the spider webs?

TomMich

Love all the details! I especially like the empty bottle in the leaning box. It seems so natural.

MuddyCreekRR

Love the tones and coloration...the weathering is just right....the details are what makes the scene....

Karl.A

Thanks for the kind words everyone. It's a great little scene to work on.
I got the main roof finished and a few other things, some pics later tonight.

Karl, as usual every things looks great. Randy

Thanks so much Randy, I dont seem to be finding much time to work on it right now due to 'real world', but,
I 'm getting real close and hopefully will get it complete in the next few days.

After work today I got the railings finished, installed the roof hatches and barrels and also repaired and installed the windows.





Hopefully tomorrow after work I'll get the two front doors installed and add the remaining details to the water tank itself.

There's only a few things left to do after that.

I looked through the manual twice Kev and it doesn't mention spider webs so I won't be adding any this time.

I'm doing this build exactly as described in the manual and following every step to the letter. Hopefully that will show what anyone can do by just following Brett's outstanding instructions.

Thanks to everyone for following along and all of the support.

This is so good. The colors are just breathtaking. If I start mine this really is something to aspire to. It really sets the bar Karl!

Joel

Stunning work. Looking forward to some more close up photos.

Really looks great Karl. Nicely done

Amazing work, even without the spider webs!
