Not sure when Dad acquired this old GMC grain truck. It's obviously been sitting for quite a while. Plenty of good angles of it, as we take a break from barn photos for a bit.

The old chicken coop / hog barn isn't in shape to be saved. I don't let anybody in it, as It's already partially collapsed. But it does make for a nice photo.

One of my favorite shots of the old barn. Three era's of construction here. (Also 7 windows and a door that I need to replace).
Again with Dad's old Nikon FE, Ilford HP5 film, and the trusty 50mm F1.4

Going to be posting some photos of the barn, and other weathered things on the farm, prior to kicking off the project. This angle start to show some of the real issues I'll be dealing with.

so, if i do start giving updates, here is the barn in question i’ll be restoring. this it’s only good angle on the outside. Dad only did the red tin on the sides that face the house.
the other sides, and the interior, are nowhere near as nice.

after 15 years, i just took the last order at my pinball business called “siegecraft electronics.”
sad but happy day. i put a lot into it, and it helped me immensely when things were very tight. but its time to move on.

decent little kit by Airfix. But as i’m building it for my own shelf and not as a competition kit, i’m not going to drop all the stencils onto it.
I might hit it with a wash. i might just say “it’s done” and go to the next project.

more work in today with the RDuck Locomotive Works kit of a Fletcher-Jennings 0-4-2.
The new bottle of wood glue has been a huge help. Old bottle was far too thick to apply properly.

finally got back to the bench, and base coats are on the Airfix Meteor. Not going crazy on this build. Will just be a quick “spray, decal, wash” job.

more treasures of Dad’s that i’ve found. His old Nikon FE. A lot of my childhood was seen through this lens.
I think i need to get some batteries and re-learn the old ways. Such a wonderful feel to these old SLR’s.
