Don't do the crime...
Author: Jimmies

...if you can't do the time.

Made my way into the sketchier part of town today to find this derelect Quonset, and an ominous warning from the law.

The Quonset is a real nice and simple kit from Rix or Pikestuff. Thanks for looking.

Really nice, and that fence is great too.

I like everything about these scenes----the abandoned Quonset hut, the rusty fence and the weeds growing between the concrete seams! Also note the door that is partially open and the broken windows------simply perfect!!

Thanks very much for the kind comments. The fence is made by Plastruct, the billboard is scraps-built from leftover Plastruct I-beam, some sheet styrene, and there is a walkway that doesn't show very well in the pictures that was made from an Athearn covered-hopper walkway. The billboard poster itself is from a photo of a real billboard in Detroit. The broken windows are done with Micro-Kleer.
