Wire Goods company shop

 My next model is a wire goods company.  They don't make wire - they buy wire and make a variety of goods for home and businesses.  This is a work in progress and has been more complex than I expected, partly because of the materials I selected to build it.  The walls are made with card stock covered with textured brick paper by Illinois Hobby Craft. the roof is from a plastic kit.  The roof is removable so I will be adding a detailed interior which will actually be able to be seen.  I also will be adding a side shed and some weathering.  

There are two skylights on the roof.  Lots more to do.

Below is a painting I did years ago for a christmas card.  I am adding this for some variety.  

Truck model for lithography shop

Building this truck took longer than I expected.  The only commercial parts are the wheels and the steering wheel.  The rest was made from wood and card stock with a few other parts.

These photos are not great.  I don't seem to get good photos when photographing small items, or maybe it is my camera.  

The grill on the front is a piece of metal from a filter of some kind that I saved.  

The rear view shows some boxes inside.  They are sections of wood.  

This truck will sit inside the garage of the lithography shop.

Next I will will build some kind of small industry.  It is getting harder to come up with new ideas as I have built so many small  industries.

Due to the oddly revised statistics section of blogger I no longer look at them since they provide almost no information anymore.  I will just rely on comments by my viewers to determine how I am doing and what is of interest. 

Lithography shop complete

I have added the shop garage completing this model.  The garage was built board by board with a tar paper roof.

 There are some details inside the back of the garage which of course you cannot see.  The doors are also board by board.  I added another sign above the front windows. 

The side window is scratch.  The tar paper is paper painted black.

Next I think I will build a truck for the garage.

I am still trying to get used to googles new format for posting but I do not like it!  The statistics are worthless to me.
