the point im getting at is twofold. 1) the barrel would get so hot you could spit on it and it would immediately evaporate (what do you expect from three drunk hippies). 2) brett captured it perfectly.

Hopefully the next pics will have an award sitting next to it.
The wires go up inside the smoke stack so that they cant be seen.
Once the heater gets installed in the structure they will come out of the stack midway and run along the rafters as usual, the stack itself will continue up through the roof.
I did take pictures of the adaptions and steps I took along the way that I can post if anyone wants to see them.
I had featured the jacket with hat in HO Scale awhile back in my HO/HOn3 Eureka Springs build thread. Such a great 3D detail Brett came up with. I'm including the same detail in my Shelby's build.
Good luck on your competition.
Ken - the coloring on that jacket is spot on. Adding details like hats, coats, rags etc. are a great balance to all the metal and wood we use in details. Beautiful scene.
Karl - I did a lighted shop heater once in a black smith shop and really struggled hiding the wires in the scene. I never thought about going up the stack. If you get a spare moment sometime, I would love to see the pictures of how you ran it out the stack and into the rafters.
Having them mounted on a little 'build plate' makes them super easy to work with.
Sprayed with crystal clear on the outside and then brushed some more on the inside to get the clear glass effect. Dropped and picked up Kev...
when putting mason jars full of nails up on the shelf... make sure you don't drop one,
they make one hell of a mess !!!
indeed Bryan, I have it all planned out, and now, thanks to SWSM I have the capability.
Speaking of which, I utilized your ice making guidance and tried adding sea salt to my Pepsi soda machine. It was a good time to work on some of my details. I am spending the holiday weekend at our house in California so the tool shed (in Chicago) is on hold.
I couldn't get my iPhone to really show the full effect but if I think it came close to what Karl described.
On another subject, my youngest daughter is visiting this weekend. She is a school teacher and joined me on a trip to Michael's. She needed glitter and we found these small containers for a dollar. I convinced her to transfer the glitter to small plastic bags and I hijacked the containers to help organize the smaller parts in my divided detail parts carrier.
You may be able to find a small container without the glitter but this worked for me and it is has a screw top to keep the parts secure.
