I love the detailed barn with its sagging roof line, large lettering, awning, and the multitude of vintage color signs. The faded red color is reminiscent of the types of barns I recall seeing growing up in the 60’s on the East Coast. Talk about a trip down memory lane!

 

Here is a nice view of the rear of the diorama. (Including detail worth noting.) The included chain link fence is a great scene block, even though you can see right through it! I suggest utilizing details where they are most appropriate. If one side of the diorama will be completely hidden from view “steal” the details from that side and add them elsewhere, even on another model that needs a little sprucing up.

 

A chain “guards” the entrance. Note the “Private Drive” and “Honk for Entry” signs. (Dry transfer decals.) This is also a nice view of the awning, outdoor plumbing, and many of the included vintage color signs. The blacktop street is an easily modeled detail and the manual covers its construction and weathering.

 

Here is a view of the Jordan Vehicles I constructed and junked. They are not included in the kit. The manual does include instructions on how to create this fantastic little scene. The vehicles are sitting in stagnant oily water. The drainage pipe is hidden from view behind the vehicles and junk.

 

One final view of the entrance canopy, street, and dirt sidewalk. Just imagine yourself a little HO fellow walking along the path, drinking a Yahoo! (Not surfing to their website!) The sights and sounds of a bygone era filling your senses. Isn’t that what modeling is all about?
