    People really need to get out of town and see this great land. Mother nature has quite the show if we just look.
    I took this pic a couple days ago at the Rivers Bridge battle ground historical site here in South Carolina. I drove past it countless times and finally took the 1/4 mile detour to see it.

    Get out there and look!...Rick

    Rick….have you ever been up the road just a bit to the town of Branchville ( home of the world’s oldest railroad junction)? I wonder if there might be some old railroad structures/rolling stock to explore

    Rust stains from fire escape:
    Rusty Stairwell

    Serious need for a paint job:
    Needs Paint-1

    Could probably strip the paint off with a fingernail in 20 minutes and be ready for a new coat!

    Now THAT is a scratch build begging to be built.

    (I'd probably decide to eliminate the 'DirectTV' satellite dish though..... to keep it 50's period...and the weed eater... )

  • kebmokebmo
    butr how would you do the satellite dish....? :)
  • TomMich
    Brett can3D print one for you!
  • Pappy
    Brett can 3D print one but back in the old days there was no such thing of satellite dishes.
  • kebmokebmo
    good point

    Hence my previous comment that I would eliminate the Dish... on my build.

    Easy enough to make one though if needed.

  • CarlLaskeyCarlLaskey

    Love the color/weathering on the siding. So hard to achieve that natural grey look and all the variations, subtle or otherwise. Especially like the natural wood color sub-wall base peeking through in spots.
  • Robert.GRobert.G
    Super reference !!!
  • TomMich
    So much to look at. Variation in degrees of weathering due to sun exposure. Overhang protection of painted surface. Degree of peeling siding boards. Just great thanks for posting.
  • Pappy
    Great Pic's. This would be very hard to do in HO but never know.
