    I think the colors and tones are perfect...nothing jumps out at you...it blends so well.....thats always a concern.....
  • KKarnsKKarns
    Appreciate that Brett.

    Thanks Art.

    Working on the front of the Bait & Tackle Shop. Putting in a gas pump and associated details. Scratch built a pole light for the area and a filler pipe extension for the underground tank...just a couple fun little details.

    Every time I look at your work...I am amazed....until I see you holding it up with your thumb and fingers....and remember you work in HO scale....and then I am utterly amazed
  • KKarnsKKarns

    it's hard to imagine being able to do that kind of work in ho. i can't even do it in o. fantastic looking deetz.
  • KKarnsKKarns
    Hey thanks Kevin. So far so good being able to see this stuff!
  • Jim M
    Wow, that's crazy good. A little birds nest tucked in above that angled bracket would be cool. Probably impossible, but it would be cool .
  • Karl.AKarl.A
    Nothings impossible for Ken... it should be easy enough with a little clump of static fibres, some jute strands or even bristles from a paint brush.
  • KKarnsKKarns
    Thanks much Jim. Lol...well yeah that could be done...

    What ya think Karl, should I give it na go?
  • KKarnsKKarns
    Detailed a couple of HO Scale SWSM Detail parts for Shelby's. I added some water slide decals to both pieces. The lubester will have some oil and grunge added to the top prior to planting in the designated scene.

    If it fits your scene Ken and your vision of what you want there.
    Easy enough to build a nest 'off diorama' separately and then place it to see how it looks before you glue it in place.

    Not sure the light pole would be a good location, but it might look cool depending where the pole is going.
    Seems to be too much 'out in the open' for my way of thinking. All the nests I find around my place and watch the eggs hatch and grow are in little protected nooks and crannies away from the weather and predators Not wide out in the open.
    Under the eaves, or, the speaker shelf in the gazebo, a corner in the garage above a cabinet... They can be visible, but usually protected.

    Your model, your choice, I know you'll do it right.

    Fantastic Ken, hard to believe the quality of those prints and your work on them in HO,
    That metalic sheen you have peaking through is perfect and shows off the quality of both Brett's details and your work on them so well.
  • KKarnsKKarns
    I think I'll forgo the bird nest, at least in that location, for the good points you bring up.
    Was fun thinking about it.

    Thanks for your thoughts on the detail parts. The blue color turned out better than I had expected.
  • ALCOALCO
    How do you produce such wonderful details with gargantuan fingers like those? (LOL)

    Great work Ken! Been gone for a week and you've made some great progress. Really like the floating dock, and your scenery looks fantastic. I especially like the little bridge between the land and floating dock.
  • KKarnsKKarns
    ...Cracked me up Al & Kevin! Appreciate that and I guess I'm just used to it.

    Thanks much Tom. That little bridge has a hinge affair on the land side that allows the access bride to also ride up and down with the dock.

  • Jerry
    Either you have really big hands or that's a really tiny part!!!

    Wonderful work as usual!!

    Jerry
  • brownbr
    Great additions
  • KKarnsKKarns
    Thanks Jerry. Those are small parts buddy!

    They are really nice prints and love the square cans.
  • KKarnsKKarns
    An additional SWSM 3D printed detail part to populate the Bait & Tackle Shop. Coke machine complete with stocked bottles. Such a great print!

    Old dry transfer almost made it! I may fill in the the minor missing white lettering...maybe.

    Now this is brilliant 3D rendering!

    Very nicely done.
    I think the chipped lettering matches the chipped cooler well.
    It just needs dulling down a bit more to match.
  • KKarnsKKarns
    Didn't want to get any pigments on it in case I decided to fill in the lettering. Based on your thoughts here I'm going with it as is. Thanks for the nudge!
  • kebmokebmo
    i'd leave it as is too. it looks great.
  • adminadmin
    Holy cow, just amazing. The double light is wonderful. Beautiful execution.

    The finishing on the 3D Printed details is outstanding.
  • KKarnsKKarns
    Thanks Kevin, already planted as is!

    Thanks much Brett.
  • Jerry
    Amazing!!

    Awesome job on the Coke machine! Nicely weathered.
