    Handmade crushed drums and trash cans. A couple of the drums were run over by a tractor and the treads are visible. Weathered simply with ipa and powdered chalk.

    How about a loose roll of rope to hang from one of the pegs.

    For the rope, about the best solution I could find was using real scale rope from the model ship guys. It was a pain to coil up until I dipped it in Matte Varnish and then wrapped it into a coil. It kept its coiled shape very well. Looks pretty darn real too.

    Thankful I'm not on the frontline of this one. Looking forward to my time in line for the shot.
  • kebmokebmo
    me too. i'm considered an essential worker, but we haven't been given any kind of timeline for the vaccine.
  • adminadmin
    Thanks for the update!
  • KKarnsKKarns
    Just wanted to make sure those that might be on the fence regarding the vaccine to just get it done!...

    Ken, thanks for your support and encouragement. You don't have to encourage this 75+ forum member, however. I'm in line as soon as my turn comes. Each state may handle this vaccination a bit different and supplies may hinder a speedy turn. But I'll be there when my turn comes.
    Another vaccination I would encourage all to get is the shingrix series. I had chicken pox as a kid and got it again as an adult while teaching during a summer school session. Thankfully a doctor caught it immediately and knew how to prevent further complications to my eye sight. Once the new Shingrix Series of shots was available I was on it. Didn't have to convince a retired ophthalmologist friend to get it either. We went together.

    Later, Dave S Tucson, AZ
