I have two working wreckers pulling cars now. And of course the junkyard dog pickup you sent me is the work horse of the company. |

Give me time Zach...LOL. The clunkers rotting away and the farm equipment are on the right side. I need to dress up the bulldozer. Cant add the telephone poles until I finish the backboard. Going to look right now for spare hoods and parts for fodder. Besides, I'm slow. And back to work again finally. Time is limited. The swamp behind the stone wall has water now, with some growth and a couple half sunken tires. The big pond is done. Thanks Lee for the toothpaste idea! Worked like a charm. |

Hey Lee! Your idea about a paint brush is better then store bought. Thats what I've been using, better colors. Made for sweeping metal shavings. I cut what I could off from it and thought why not? Took some front cutters to remove the metal plate and disected 4x with a jewlers saw and got about 8 feet of brush in front of the office. Even had a wood backing to glue it to. Just need to blend the colors and add some twigs. Neat tip. I got a low battery light again. Need to get some sleep anyway |

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
|
I see a lot of EXPENSIVE wrecks to be sold to car clubs in there!! You may need to find more stock if the yard sells at reasonable prices!! Excellent work, Bob. |

Looks like a junkyard to me Bob like the train track scenery, details ,cars .Pearl has a track on her autowreckers now complete with a old engine and a load of scrap metal .Is that your plan or is it an old abanonded line either way the tracks are always rusty.They are always a ongoing project as new ideas come along. |
