Re: Close out one chapter, start a new one.

Took the Vette to my mechanic today. After a thorough inspection, the only problems found were a tiny patch of surface rust on a frame bracket and a weeping tailshaft seal on the transmission. I'll take it back later this month and have the seal replaced. Of course, being a Vette, it's a huge pain i...

Haven't heard from him in quite a while, either here or via email. Getting a little worried.

I have this roughly triangular area under the power lines with the hill/forest on the left, stream on the right.

Bearing in mind that I'm modeling the 1950-1970 era, what should I do with this space?

The hill portion of the addition is about 90% done. I have one more tree kit on order, and I'm waiting on some resin tint to add water to the pond.

Still contemplating what to do with the rest of the new real estate.

Re: Little modeling project

The tree projects got me all fired up to work on the diorama after a long layoff. Part of the problem was that I was out of room and in the current configuration of the hobby space, there wasn't anywhere to expand. oldhr1.jpg Before newhr3.jpg After considering various (expensive and involved) appro...
