Tool repair shop complete

I have completed the tool repair shop - mostly added roofs plus a few details such as signs and an open tool box of junk tools outside the shed.  I also did a little weathering with chalks.  

This was a relatively simple model - mostly wood and card stock plus a variety of details.

Now as usual I have to decide what to build next although I have a few ideas.

Have a Happy New year!!  I hope 2022 is better than this year.  

 

Tool repair shop progress

 My progress on this model has been slow but I have other issues occupying my time these days,   I have added more details and constructed the main part of the boiler house attached tp the tool repair shop.  

I have added a low boarded  railing on the outside work area with details along it including some shelves, a tool chest,  a barrel and some saw horses.

The boiler house has no roof yet and is at the back right. 

There are two windows in the boiler house - no glass.  

Above is a rear view of the structure.  The detail at the right side of the boiler house is a bin to add coal for the boiler. 

Above is a top view showing the details in the work area and the boiler house.  Next I will be adding some roofs.

Last week I was sorting through some of my old files and found a file containing many of the certificates I received for models  I displayed at conventions such as the NMRA conventions, narrow gauge conventions, MER conventions, and MER division meets.  They include 3rd, 2nd and first place awards plus one best in show.  There are also certificates for the many clinic presentations I gave.  Lots of fun those times.  

My final part of this model will be posted after Christmas.  Have a nice holiday!  

Tool repair shop model start

 My next model is a tool repair shop.  I like doing shops.  This model has a small main building with an open work shed on the side and there will be a small boiler shed in the back.  The nice thing about the open work shed is that the details are visible.  

The door and windows on the front are commercial parts.  The roof has commercial tar paper strips.  

 

The open work area will have a roof.  The details are from left to right a work bench,  a drill press, a scratch built door and a tool grinder.  The boiler house will be located at the right rear side of the open work area.  There will be  additional details placed in the open work area.  

The base of the work area is a sheet of card stock painted gray.
