Hollywood Jim

George: When I built my model room I lowered the ceiling 15 inches. Now I have the whole top of my room for storage. I use a pole with a hook on it to slide the boxes in and out of the space. The space is for long term storage. All of the boxes near the outside of the space can be easily gotten to. You can use the space overhead buy building large deep overhead shelves. As long as you can stand up in the room, the rest of the head room can be used for storage. Also, when you build model display shelves, the lower part of the shelves is typically too low to view models. So I keep my unbuilt model kits in boxes under my model display shelves. . . . .

Super !! . . .

I have one more clown to paint. On this clown I want to hang a billboard. I have an idea for this billboard clown that I will show you later. So I searched the internet for circus posters that would be advertising a circus coming to town. While searching I found this circus poster. Although it is not good for the billboard, I love this poster. It is so cool !!! So here are the two posters that I will use. I reduced the size and printed out the posters for the billboard. Here is the finished clown. . . . . .

Welcome !

54 Chebies are one of my favorites. I love the look your going for !!! Now I wanna build one ! YES, use the dagmars.............. . .

Great looking pile of junk !! But what is the generator (or is it an air compressor) for? . . .

Thank you guys !! This diorama is supposed to be non-serious and just for laughs..... . .

"No thank you, I'm just looking for the trunk" . .

I got some clown painting done today. Here is what I started with: Here are some that I painted: . . . .

Very Nice Jim... Where can we see more of this amazing conception..? I love it!

Oh, I really like that mustard truck diorama and the post office van diorama !!

I finished the cannon today. . . . .

The clown car is almost finished !! I just need to finish the two buckets. One bucket of water and one bucket of confetti. ( I'm sure you know what part of the act they are for.... ) . . . .

I love your work Chuck Doan. I could look at it for hours. Your one of, if not the best, diorama builders of all time !!

Cool !! Here's why I don't build more. . . . .

Looks great !!

I need more red paint !!! . . . .

Oh don't get your red suspenders in a bunch. I'm just clowning around........... . . . . .

Holy Mackerel Randy, that’s incredible !!! . . . .

After searching the internet for pictures of clown cars, I found these pictures. I decided to turn my little clown car: Into a fire truck clown car. . . . .

Tell your wife your going to buy $20 worth of tickets. Make up and write down random numbers for 10 tickets. During the drawing give her the numbers. After the drawing take out the $20 that you did not spend on the tickets. Give her $10 and you keep $10. The only problem is, if you pick the winning numbers you are in deep caw caw. But don't worry that will never happen. . . .

I spent some time doing a mock-up of a circus scene. I'm not sure yet how I want to lay this out. . . . .

Looks great !!

My mileage differs a little. The "Reply to this Topic" button works much better. But sometimes it also runs for a long time before it loads the post. . . .
