    Outstanding!!!
    When you added the Gallery Glass on the LED's, what effect did it have on the intensity?
  • nextceonextceo
    Thanks guys for the comments. No real change in the intensity since the color I used is called Crystal Clear

    Alright, finally finished up the interior. I'm now in the process of adding the roofs.

    You cant have a Repair Shed in the Great Depression Era without a few packs of Lucky Strike Cigarettes laying around. I made these along with other cans and boxes by googling the words "Miniature Printies"...Yes Printies. Below is the file for the packs of smokes. Yellow Packaging is from the 20s-30s while the White Packaging is from the 40s-60s. I simply opened the file in the Program Paint and resized the image to fit the scale I was modeling.

    Alan I really like your "night time" interior shots. I can see a little light in the cracks between the exterior boards but I have to look for them. Good photography.

    By the way, the scenes are very realistic.
  • KKarnsKKarns
    Superb modeling Alan. Wonderful details right down to the Lucky Strikes. Love the the shop car and welding cart.

    Still working thru the scenery. Spent the last day building trees and adding ground cover. To construct the trees, I ordered some sage brush off of ebay. I then ordered some Supertree material and spray painted it gray and brown. I next sprayed the supertree materiel with hair spray (used as an adhesive) and finished up by sprinkling on Noch leaves before gluing the Supertree material to the Sage Brush. I'll sprinkle on a darker color leaf first and then come back with a little bit of a lighter color leaf. The variation adds a nice depth to the tree. The bushes are made the same way expect without the Sage Brush.

    Alan, your landscaping is always first rate. Thanks for the suggestion of where to find sage brush. Also, thanks for the explanation. Very realistic. Phil

    Thanks for the comments guys. Most of the diorama is still under construction so there isnt anything else to show that's been completed.

    Just tell them that I am posting the photo's and they will understand the long delay.

    Hey Carl, did you ever figure out how to upload photos on your iMac?

    Here are a few more pictures.

    The First Picture is entitled "Karl's Junk Pile". This is in memory for Karl Allison who was the master at Junk Scenes. Seeing that he's MIA with no ETA on returning, this ones for you Karl.

    The Second Picture is entitled "Kenny's Shooting Range". If you look closely, you'll see Kenny was bored the other day (because he's finished with his O'Neills Build and has nothing to do) so he decided to use the Railroad Signal on my diorama for target practice.

    I know I'm not the Carl addressed in that post but I had the same issue sizing pics for upload on my MacBookPro. Here's my workaround: I emailed the pics from the MacBook to my iPhone, then emailed them back at the correct size for this site. I believe it's the "medium" size option. I then put the jpgs into a folder on the desktop and uploaded them by using the blue icon in the comments block. Hope this helps Mac users.

    Oh but Alan...I'm deep in thought, strategizing and mulling over my next project possibilities. This still leaves time to harass your build here! I also shot out one of your windows. Great junk scenes, I love the wheel barrow and excellent arrangement of the details which is harder than it looks for those that haven't. I hope "Karl's Junk Pile" smells a little bit...hopefully poke him out of retirement!

    I am going to call apple support and have them go through it with me and I also have a backup plus Slim with all of the pictures from my old mac and I am a little shy on how to do the transfer so there may be a chance they will help me with that.
    Being a Highliner for 38 years I have no computer skills.
    Thanks for your time

    Love this, Alan. I hesitate to label you the new "junk man", but if the title fits...
    Terrific work!
