Good evening shop dwellers, Chloe since Paul is buying I'll have your TexMex special of the day with a tall OJ... <br /> <br /><b>RT</b> - condolences on your Mom, I'll add her to my prayer list[angel] <br /> <br /><b>John</b> - those are cute Q-tip thingies in the photo, think I might invest in a few of those myself - got a supplier name and catalog item number for them? <br /> <br /><b>Paul</b> - 9 ore loads, only <i>how many</i> hundred to go? <br /> <br /><b>Flip</b> That's really scary about the fires, hope your place doesn't get damaged by any of them. <br /> <br /><b>PC</b> - I always enjoy viewing your museum pix <br /> <br />Well this was quite a productive weekend for me, considering I also had the assist in preparing my home for guests for Stephanie's First Communion reception. <br /> <br />On Friday evening, I spread on some WS Water Effects paste on the rear area of Bethel Creek - here's what it looked like at first: <br />[IMG]http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e182/CSX_road_slug/scenery_and_water/ripples_freshly_pasted_on.jpg[/IMG] <br /> <br />In case you're wondering, the current in Bethel Creek flows from front-to-back, not the other way around as most modelers do it. The tree sort of acts like a 'dam' causing the water to appear placid near the front, and more turbulent in back where the water gushes thru. Here's what it looked like when dried: <br />[IMG]http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e182/CSX_road_slug/scenery_and_water/bethel_creek_ripples.jpg[/IMG] <br /> <br />An overhead view, so you can see the supposed effect of the fallen tree on the flow of the water: <br />[IMG]http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e182/CSX_road_slug/scenery_and_water/ripples_overhead_view.jpg[/IMG] <br /> <br />On Saturday and today, I built a modern facade for the LifeLike KFC eatery so it would match the era I'm modeling. Here's the 'before' picture: <br />[IMG]http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e182/CSX_road_slug/East_Minister/KFC_retro_02.jpg[/IMG] <br /> <br />...and the "after" picture: <br />[IMG]http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e182/CSX_road_slug/East_Minister/KFC_modern_01.jpg[/IMG] <br /> <br />Another view from behind: <br />[IMG]http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e182/CSX_road_slug/East_Minister/KFC_modern_02.jpg[/IMG] <br /> <br />. . . <br />Well guys I have to go now, Stephanie wants me to tuck her in - good nite!
