You would be very welcome Ed, everybody by the way... Jose, if you got the time, I think we all would like to see some layout photos. Now that you teased us with your work...
Ed, it's funny that you compare me to two golf stars. It is a sport that does not attract me much, but what a coincidence, I live in front of a golf course, near hole 10. You watch me from somewhere.
Dave, I've done these three takes, I hope they work for you.
The colors, tones, weathering and details you have established in this set of photos is incredible. Behind every nook and cranny there is something hidden to explore. I look forward to each new set of photos and stage of your build. Thanks for documenting in such a detailed manner. It is quite enjoyable to follow your creative work.
Over the period of years that I have been a member of the SWSM forum group I have been exposed to an immense amount of talent and and an explosion of creativity. But what strikes me most about this group is the camaraderie and the willingness of fellow modelers to share their experience and creativity so openly. For that I am truly thankful.
Yes, I made a template with a typeface very similar to O'Neills, same length and height, and laser cut it.
If you look at the oil tank, you will see that it is upside down. I didn't notice that detail and have fixed it by adding a styrene strip to the bottom. You will see it in future photos.
When I started as a cabinet / furniture maker about 25 years ago, my mentor told me that the difference between a good craftsman and a great one is that the great one can hide the mistakes that he WILL make. No one is perfect. You have proven this concept very well Jose!! That looks just wonderful.
And what I told you yesterday, the styrene profile that I placed in the lower part of the oil tank, due to the big mistake I had. Not bad, not if you come to appreciate.

The three additional photos are perfect. Basically they show exactly what I hoped to see.
I sent you a personal message through the forum.
Later, Dave S.
More progress with Balboa. The bracket for the oil tank and tank.

Another little progress, the wooden fence.

Paint worn by time, paper posters peeled off by the weather, humidity in the lower areas, ...
