That's very cool, but where are the sources?  That is my main grump. One would think there would be sources for such things all over, but the crickets are deafening...

The guys at the Pioneer Park Museum are professionals with access to lots of old photographs and actual buildings; I like to think that they must know what they're doing! :)

If you want to contact them about their sources: http://old.fnsb.us/ParksandRecreation/PioneerPark/about/contact/contact.htm

So I picked up some more of those adorable little cars from Infinity, and threw a bit more colors on them.




And I added more crew to the Carp.

So, I have been taking my 40% off coupons to the local Michael's, and that has allowed me to get a few more trailers.  Thye nromally run $13, but I feel that is a bit steep. $8 though - I can live with that...

So, this started happening...





But I got distracted, and went away from this project for a few days (painting GIs for a WW2 game, actually, but I came back to it.  Unfortunately, I completely forgot to take any more progress photos...








I also finished up another little piece of terrain that I had half-done - a bunch of eggpods that I had glued down but not painted.  Who knows what they might be?




And big container thing I picked up somewhere...



Been a good weekend for getting things painted and done.. With these two and the other one I already had, I got me a little trailer park going on...

Very nice.

Where did you get the chairs?

I got them in an Ebay buy that I kind of regretted when it came in, because I am 90% certain that all of the stuff was recasts - all of it was the same grey resin, fair amount of bubbles, etc. It was a large lot buy of primered pieces that are from, as far as I can tell, at least three companies.  Armorcast, Ainsty, Pardulon, and some I could not ID.  I found them later, but I don't remember exactly where the chair and sofa came from.

I may have recast some things I have gotten over the years for large projects and personal use as it was more affordable in the long run versus paying shipping costs, but selling them on Ebay doesn't sit well with me.

I think the sofas and chairs are definitely Pardulon. Just had them cast, so I'll have some at Salute and then they'll be in the webstore from 01 May.

The last pictures looks like a Reaper Arms Locker.  Just got mine back from a painter friend.

I will add them to my list (volume six...).

And two more!  They were on sale for buy one, get one 50% off...and the clerk let me use my 40% off coupon on the one that was full price. :D




I didn't base these, so that I can put them between the ones I did base, and tried to just reinforce one side, the way I imagine someone would who was really trying to keep the 'enemy' out.
