The very slow progress on my depot has been even slower while some things get sorted out before progress can resume.
In the meantime, to keep busy, I found and painted two figures that now are in the general store on the C&VRR, a storekeeper and a customer.

This is very realistic and incredibly well detailed.

Thanks, Chuck and Bernhard. I realize figures are the weak link in model photos, but for me having no people at all is weaker. So I subscribe to placing them in plausibly stationary situations.

Full of details. I am happy to see that.

Nice! They look really good through the window.
