Indeed Art, its always fun to get drawn in and find the subtleties, not many in this scene yet, but, I did dull down that yellow box on top of the cabinet that was bugging me, as I'm sure you noticed.
Thanks for following along.
Did you get that woodshop/workshop finished yet? I'm looking forward to trying my hand at some of those new details soon myself.
Exactly Bryan, me too.
Talking of little things, 7 coronas into a 12 on a Sunday eve and I decide to try and work on the tiny shit.
I'm sure it will look great to me tonight, tomorrow might be another redo. ha
Thoughts?
to be honest this is back to the original gauge I printed before I tested it, and then I made it wider to make it more visible because I thought it would be better, I shoulda just stuck with my first instinct.
Speaking of "The little things" that is the title of a new movie I just watched on HBO Max with Denzel Washington. I must have dozed off as I didn't get the plot. I should have started my new model. Anywhere I look I won't be able to achieve anything near what those who went before me did (you, Brian Nolan, others).
It is hard to visualize how good some model builders like you are and then there is someone like Brett who also can concept them and then design them. Makes my head explode.
Ummm I came before you? lol, back when I first started modeling I saw your SWSM builds on RRL and dreamed of being as good as you one day.
Also, I've been in your house and seen that wall filled with modeling awards and certificates remember, you are definitely one of the best and always an inspiration.
Did you pick your next project yet? I'm going to be studying your "Main Street" dio closely for ideas as soon as I get this 'BlueSky' done and maybe get my O scale version of "Main Street" finished next...
Keep up the great work!
Jerry
thats it for this side till the final go around,
I think I'll leave the light pole until after I've done the roof stacks because I know I'll knock it over at least once.
To the ceiling, 8' tall without the sign...
Below is an intersting tidbit on the subject.
"By the 1915s, some visible gas pumps stood upwards of 10-feet tall. The cylinders were marked, by gallon, similar to a large science beaker. Beyond being a measurement device, these pumps demonstrated the clarity of the gasoline; at the time, customers became increasingly aware that pollutants in gasoline would harm their engine."
