I just received a Micro Trains box factory kit....I am going to take the front half and turn it into the office for Playa Desnuda Shell

Those tanks turned out nice. Great idea on wrapping the PVC with a label.

I shot the walls of the office satin white and trim gloss tool red. All vintage color pictures of shell stations have this same, basic color schemes, and very little yellow.

I haven’t finished it yet, I test fit the roof tonight and I need to add the corner trim…


I also need to load the dock with 55 gallon oil drums…

Playa Desnuda’s Shell Oil’s office is now complete, and next up is ground cover, fencing, and signage. I am hoping to find a Classic Metal Works Shell tank truck for a good price…

I had a minor surgery this week, so my modeling has been minimal. All that I did was make three more trees and added some more ground cover to my N Scale Pacific Electric branch.

thanks, I gave up on using my cell, I started to use my tablet instead. My computer doesn't have an SD card slot, so I never use my Nikon. I am getting a new tablet soon, and it will have an SD card, so my photography will get better...

I like it.   I have a soft spot for PCC trolleys having grown up in Pittsburgh area and rode them with some regularity. 

A suggestion I could make having done a fair amount of research on these for a future project would be to lower those Bachmanns.  The wheel C/L should be about level with the lower body skirt edge.  It makes a day and night difference.  Remove the silhouette stickers so they can be reapplied in the lowered position and start filing!   It shouldn't be too bad especially since I'm not the one doing it.
