Great idea to have written the year the model is complete on the door, Chuck...  |

You broke the code, Frederic! Even so, that will be cutting it close...

Chuck, I was just checking out the country store pictures on your fotki site, reading about the concept. It made me think of William Christenberry. I am not sure if you are familiar with his work, but he is an excellent photographer, documenting mostly structures ofthe South. His images should be a treasure trove of inspiration for your country store project. Interestingly, Christenberry moved into building models. Very interesting stuff: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Christenberryhttp://www.christenberryonline.com/ |

Yes, thanks for that link!
Even though those photoshop tricks make them bad modeling references. Still, the photography and the motives are very nice!

A bit of progress: I finally wound up re-doing about 90% of the 2009 siding under the canopy including the doors and shutters. The clapboards are easy to replace on a board for board basis. More and more paint is coming off. I’m enjoying playing with the bare wood coloring using gouache. Now starting the siding on the left addition. The paneled door is from the 2009 version; we will see if it survives.  |

Why build a new one when it's so much fun destroying the old one!  (Neat) -- Dallas |

Now I'll have to go back to the old building to see what the difference is!!! Always improving . So does this mean we get to hear how you did this with the gouache?  Jerry |

Do you also plan on modeling mold, dry rot, and termites? I can almost smell the decay. -- Russ

The bulb is just over a 1/16” long. It’s harder to get good close-ups in this scale, but it’s no harder to build.
Oh sure, easy for you to say!
The foredrop is a minutely detailed slab of foam core.
This is the only detail I might be able to mimic! LOL
