Bob-o, 60, Inka, and Ian...

I appreciate all of your compliments, and apologize for not responding earlier. Ian- real good to hear from you... haven't seen you in a while.

I have made progess, just have been swamped with other non-hobby related projects. Started a new band, and I was finally talked into joining Facebook which, if you are on there, you will know is a serious spare time-eater After working on this project for about 7 months, it was good to take a break from it.

I'll get some pics up of the wagon, the work benches, and some clutter.

Here's some update pics of the stuff going inside the barn.Nothing's been truly weathered yet. Gonna wait until everything's in place, then add dust, cobwebs, dirt...

The cart

Still need to have a little discussion with this chain, to convince it to set right.

Some of the work benches

Still have to fill the bottom shelf with more work shop junk

What man doesn't have a stash of his wife's old kitchen towels, for garage clean up?

Not much of an update, but it's something. 

Steve

...WOW

WOW

WOW...

Hi Steve, that is just awesome. Its the little bits and clutter that really make a scene and youve got it down perfect. The cart is really sweet. Is it a kit or did you scratch it?  I would deffo say that the back flap of the cart should be horizontal when open though.

Steve,

    Everything is looking awesome!! Going for the "Best in Show" prize on this one. Really anticipating how it looks when it's all together.

Not much of an update, but it's something.  Steve   I really like the toolbox and the old rags. My late father had a toolbox like the one pictured here. The old rags will add a splash of color to a mostly brown-and-tan color scheme. This is really coming along nicely! Cassibil had a great idea about adding a few chickens and maybe a cat or two; that could probably happen later in the build.

My mouth is agape... I'm STUNNED!

You're a miniaturization master!

Thank you, guys, for your very strong encouragement. I truly appreciate the kind words about this. Still chugging long.

Steve
