Here are a few unprofessional phone pics in the backyard.  The scenery base is concrete (read plaster of paris) and drying inside.  This is the building built around the animated Tortoise driven door I've been working on. 

I don't really know what purpose the building will serve yet, or what to call it, so no signs yet.  I just wanted something industrial that held two 50' boxcars.  

Suggestions on what it might or could be would be appreciated!

When the overhead door is open on the Palmer building the interior will be revealed so I added some detail to make the view more pleasing.  This is a work in process but I wanted to share what I've done thus far.

Here's the view from a distance:

I have to paint some small plastic detail parts for a structure I am building. When I moved 5 years ago I made a decision to toss my paint collection, something that I had collected over 20 years. I wanted to start fresh. Now that I am back into modeling, I regretted that the moment I saw that Testors killed Polly S and Floquil. I like solvent based paints for airbrushing and am going to try TruColor in the next few weeks. However, I need something that is Acrylic that I can use with a brush at my desk.

It strikes me increasingly that, in the modern world, there is stuff sitting everywhere.  It seems hard to walk to any retail establishment today without crashing into some large object designed to sell - or rent - me something, or get me to donate something.  A visit to my local grocery store presented an amazing array of stuff sitting on the porch, in the parking lot; everywhere.  The gas station across the street presented a similar array of objects strewn throughout the property.  Examples:
