First time sharing.

[ghamilt1]

Hi all;

I've been waiting for months to get something done in order to share it with you all. Finally, I have almost finshed Andrea's chuckwagon, with the exception of a few touch ups and details. But I couldn't wait anymore, so here it is, almost done. I do look forward to your comments and criticisms.

Thanks.

Cheers

Beautiful work Glenn.............one of my favorite topics too.......the American Cowboy. I was able to visit the Cowboy Musuem here in Oklahoma City where they have an exhibit with the chuck wagon and camp scene. I have the kit you show and hope to start on it this coming winter. Keep up the terrific work.

I really like this model and I think you've done a great job with it. I have just reread Larry McMurtry's "Lonesome Dove" and this reminds me of it. It will look even better when you dirty it up a bit

Hey Cookie! Sling some more'a them beans on muh plate and pour me another cuppa coffee!

Your painting [and the kit] are amazingly life-like. Wonderful job!

The whole scene looks like a Norman Rockwell painting. [Oops, I'm giving away my age.] I hope you aren't insulted by the comparison. People either seem to like ol' Norman or hate him.

all the best,
Dan

Thanks one and all. I appreciate the comments. Dan, I think it's kind of you to compare this work with Rockwell's. His paintings are pure Americana, and I think that's what Andrea was going for when they made this. I will be adding a little more weathering to it, so it should appear appropriately "dirty" soon.

Great piece, Glen, ... and very well painted. If I could, I suggest maybe a bit of weathering to make these hombres look a little more trail-worn. I have had this on my list for a while, and you have inspired me to move it up. Keep up the great work.

Nice work Glenn the complete diorama is tottaly great, maybe I will add some more dust over the pants of the cowboys, some touch from bottom to top and some dark shadow washes in the wood...
Great work!

Well, I hope you're all pleased, because my wife has been giving me the old "I told you so" in regards to adding more weathering to the dio. But I also think you're absolutely right. So I'm headed off to the basement right now for a little mud slinging session. Thanks again for all your comments and suggestions. You've made my wife very happy.

Hey Glenn, thanks for posting your pics. I'd post mine but I haven't even started on it yet! I really like the "look and feel" to yours. Very rustic. Don't go too overboard on your weathering as you already have a VERY nice looking doi on (in) your hands .
