Lean-to/Shop Layout
Moving right along we have the basic layout for the lean-to/shop area. I will certainly need to make more grass tufts of the light green variety and some tall chutes as well, but this portion should be much less laborious. Once this area is completed with the Harley and Ranger locations tested, I will close this area out.
As you can see from these different angle shots there is a sense of something missing, at least to me there is. I'm thinking more tools hanging from the fence wall and some of the beam portions, plus I think the top of the barrel needs some kind of additional feature. I was thinking the smaller chain, but not sure. I'm open to suggestions if ya got em.
Glenn has found some great cluttered shop pics I need to dig into, but if yall got any more suggestions, let er rip. I need this shop area looking old and slightly neglected, dusted out, and as realistic as possible. I'm also considering a cobweb or two in the rafter beam support areas. In this scale this is very possible as it would not be too difficult to make, but I will forego the geometry involved in a larger web. That would be an interesting project I'm not really into right now, HA!
Thanks for watchin and please holler if ya got any suggestions. Cheers, Ski.

I'm just trying to be brave and use Evergreen styrene and some wire stuff, so scratch-building is not part of my repertoire.
However, I do see things that stand out which might be easy to address.
Main issue I see is the shop/shed is way too clean. Even a fairly meticulous owner might sweep the open areas, where they'd walk every day. But the parts of the floor under those tools would have some dirt. Maybe a lot, at least piled up by the walls. Those who came through the international depression saved everything. Only other thing I can say is that the ropes appear really stiff, if they were hanging from a peg instead of a curved rope-keeper, the upper curve would be much sharper.
