About that shed...

Last summer I posted about mocking up structures for my NMRBO24 diorama entry.  For reasons I won't elaborate on here I never finished that diorama but I did finish the little shed.  The prototype inspiration was a dilapidated structure down the road in Hopland, California, seen here:


 Now the in-progress shots:


 

Finally the finished structure, complete with hand-painted sign of my own design:


Trademarked logos were not allowed on the diorama entries for the NMRBO contest, so I freelanced a pickle company.  This is a nod to my paternal grandmother, Pearl Rosenbaum Gallimore.  She made pickles, and is reported to have enjoyed drinking the juice from the jar when the pickles were gone.  I don't doubt she did.

  1. Thanks, Jim. Someday I'll finish the market building to go with the shed. Would make a nice mini diorama or micro layout setting.
