Wheelbarrow
I decided to paint it the company color as I do with all the ground equipment.I put acrylic color over the bare wood ,thinned down to a wash.I then toothbrush spray on some very thin raw umber.Then I come along with the pastels.
A friend was over and he told me that on the farm growing up he often saw wheelbarrows just like this .He also confirmed that it had a rusty steel wheel and no tire of any kind.Now I have to make up some junk and load it down.

Yeah I know the frame is crooked! I am not going to try to tell you guys that I planned it that way but I did have a chance to fix it but I decided not to.I figure that most of these were homemade and crudely built and subject to a lot of wear and tear,so an out of square frame actually looks more authentic.Anyway thats my story and I'm sticking with it!

Ken Hamilton's latest diorama has got me thinking.Cement and blacktop
would be way too expensive for a struggling aviation dealer in the 20's.Much more likely would be well worn grass and hard packed ground cover ,devoid of stones that would nick the prop. This outdoors stuff is all new territory for me unlike the guys with a RR background. What I need is a little help with the most up to date methods of how to do this.I would rather not bother doing the outside at all rather than screw it up. I know that it takes years to reach this level of expertise with outdoor scenes but I don't give up easy. I already have Ken and Shep's books but what I need is a more step-by-step tutorial especially the subtle use of greenery.Any ideas? Cheers! John.
