Thanks! Kevin, I guess it would depend on what the paint condition/color was when the sign was installed. I have seen missing signs with bare weathered wood underneath as well as fresher looking paint as you describe or even a completely different color.

This is just way beyond cool. Too bad it is abandoned. It would be neat to encapsulate a nano LED into a clear resin lightbulb casting.  Bill |

As always Chuck, brings a smile to my face when I see you've put up an update The sag along the bearers of the porch between the rock piers is just beautiful. Nothing shows an aging property better than a sag in the skeleton (after all, its the same thing that happens to most of us when we get old as well). The natural light shot also highlights how accurate the change in peeling paint has been captured, where it is shadowed by the roof line. Cheers, Dan |

I haven’t been very interested in model building lately, but your post helps. -- Russ

Um...WOW! ...what can one say that hasnt been said. You're really flashin' those mad skills cuz. I'm speechless. Simply beautiful to look at. To do the sags, did you actually bend the stripwood, or did you use a wider piece and sand/carve the needed shaped beam out of it? Are you sure that that bare bulb above the left/addition door would have survived?....first thing as a kid, that I would have thrown rocks at or whacked with a stick.  Marc |

Doan losing interest in modeling. Isn't that a bit like Hefner (or Unc) losing interest in women?
Hey Chuck it's your stuff that helped me back. The building is wonderful.

Thanks all! I just haven’t felt like sittin at the bench much is all. Dan, I hadn’t noticed the shadows-they worked out good! Marc, I just carefully bent the strip in my fingers. A fine line between bent and broke. On the deck planks I dampened the bottom side to create a slight cupping and to make it easy to make a sag. I would have broken the bulb too as a kid, but it looked better with one in there.
Chester at least Hef has Viagra. Modelers need a pill for a basswoody. Thanks, and welcome back!
