Jon,

I'll second the motion to do an article. If you are within 100 miles, I'd volunteer myself to do the photos and write-up as it is a guaranteed publishable article; and among the best.

Thanks Fella's!!! With the help of Dennis Brennan and a vat of Young's India Pale Ale, I'll get it together eventually!!!

  Jim, I'm not exactly sure of the moderators position on showing some of my scantily clad ladies on my layout over here.

John has one of the nicest layouts I've seen. Always enjoy his photo postings. I also thought of Otis when I saw the drunk.

As much detail as there is in this photo, there's something missing. Where's the hoochie mama du jor that is usually seen in your photos? Not the same without a hoochie mama!

Nice job, John.

jon, the dullcoate and weathering really make this scene. I continue to enjoy your 'eye' for photography.

That looks like Otis staggering around, if it is Barney must not be far away. Ashamed [*^_^*]

that's great; I love these little scenes made from kitbashing or scratchbuilding; this is what the hobby means most to me!

I picked this REA stakebed truck up from Santana's Miniatures for 12.95. I sprayed it with Dullcote and then some tan paint for road dirt.
