Man I need to show on the coast.
This is a present for my friend Everett the poster artist. Dogs a loaner and not included.


SUN BOWLS

New arrival to the War Museum! An Italian Fiat M13/40 Light Tank. Out of the box it was pretty generic:

So I weathered it with a bit of watered down acrylics and pastel chalk:

John,
Good to see some of your stuff again. More please.

[2railjon]

Thanks, Roger! Fall weather is finally moving in down South here! Feels more like train running weather again!

Jon,
That amount of sound overwhelms my ears. Sorry. I turned the sound off. Nice trains.

[2railjon]

LOL Roger!! Sorry about the noise! I’m preparing myself for the afterlife! The Lord says he will prepare a mansion for you in heaven. I just humbly pray for a shack down by the tracks.

Always love seeing the tanks on your layout.

I was thinking about you the other day when I saw this article about the guy in Texas that has a Sherman Tank In Front of His House. I bet Jon would like to have that at his house.

LOL Hondo!! I’m slowly getting there!

The tank looks fabulous nestled into that good lookin' freight car, Jon, especially with those wooden planks fore-and-aft.

And let me echo Roger, who is right, it is good to see some of your stuff again....and... got more?

[2railjon]

Thank you, Murph!!! I hope y’all are enjoying this Fall weather also!

In this area you will hear how glad someone is because it has gotten cooler.
Not from me. I like 75 to 85 and even higher is ok because I hurt a whole lot more when it gets cooler.
Arthritis don't like cool. At least mine doesn't. I didn't understand my grandmothers complaints in
the 1940s and 1950s. Now I do. The first half of my life in Ohio and Kentucky was never bothered
by cold weather. I did prefer warm weather but cold was not a problem. The only other place that I
might have considered living was southern Arizona but it's too late now. No more moving.

Hi Jon, yes, the Fall weather here in the East is wonderful. I think it is my favorite season. Of course, if you ask me that in the Spring, I'd tell you Spring is my favorite season. I think what I like best about it all are the changes, from season to season, throughout the calendar year,because I am grateful when I find myself still around for the next change-over. So, every season is my favorite (except for snow shoveling.)

As crazy as it may be, I do miss those upstate NY winters.

Hey Kent, thanks for checking in. Think of you every time I fire up the LW.

Glad to hear that you and the LW doing well.
Been busy with work getting close to retirement. My realtor wife is actively looking for a model railroaders dream house - large basement (walkout?) with a ranch house on top and open space behind. Might take a while.

Kent found a video showing his test lab at work:=> https://youtu.be/vYYakFC9Fpw

Looks great Jon...M13/40 of the 32nd Tank Regiment, 132 "ARIETE" Armored Division.



These guys were pretty good (although their equipment was crap).
