The Home Board

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?

Thanks, Patria.

Looking forward to seeing what you're making as well!

C'mon folks, y'all can't be just sitting and staring out the windows. Post it up, always like to see what other folks do for fun!

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.

Wow! Any idea why he wouldn’t have a radio? (My Dad wouldn’t have a gun in the house, based on combat experience in WW II) I’m sorry, because we really did have the best music in the 50s, 60s and 70s. Pretty much pales the further you get after that. Not entirely sure. I think he considered it unne...

Growing up, Dad wouldn't have a radio in the house, nor in the car. I didn't catch the music bug until I left home. As a result, most of my favorites are 70's rock-and-roll with a few late 60's pop tunes. Until recently, my hearing loss made listening to music frustrating as it was pretty flat. A co...

Went on another tree building binge today...

I hope you get it sorted out, Jim! I had ONE episode of that several months ago. Went from slightly dizzy to VERY dizzy to flat on my back on the floor wondering what the hell just happened all in about 10 seconds. The daughter of the friend I was visiting at the time happened to be there and is an ...
