that is a splendid model Jack! very well done I do believe there is a site where you can get 'eye decals'..............I recall seeing them, but I can't place where {no pun}. a good place to start would be military figures.

Had an uncle on Mom's side of the family who I wasn't sure what he did, but he always drove big, new cars. Buicks, primarily. He must have liked me because he let me borrow one to haul my date and several other frat brothers and dates into NYC for a formal affair at the Waldorf. What a Yank tank.

Newburgh is still the same, hasn’t change a bit, still the same reputation. You do not drive in or thru Newburg after dark, unless you're driving a MRAP.
When I first moved to this area 50+ years ago, there was a large horse farm on the West Saugerties Road, there were so many black sedans with darkened windows parked on the road opposite the farm with guys in suits with cameras and binoculars that the locals all joked about it. The owner of the farm was some dude named Persico. Need I say more? 😉🤐

I once had a good friend from Newburgh. He and his wife both have passed away now. He used to tell me tales about his good friend “Jimmy” from Newburgh and all the mischief they got into a long time ago. One time Jimmy drove down from New York and I got to meet the legend. He came down in a big new Lincoln Town Car. Turned out Jimmy was a hit-man for the good fellas. I was nervous as a cat on a tin roof around that guy. A man of few words but he meant what he said when he did speak.

Gotta go thru their sectional centers.
Of course, during COVID, I had a package come up from Savannah,GA to Greenville, SC. Should have come up US 25 to Hendersonville, but instead got 6 day vacation (?) in Durham, NC at the other end of the state.of NC. 🙄

Mine too! I search his site first. And delivery to me is 2 days max. Altho I never understand USPS' routing, NH to Albany, then Albany down Thruway to Newburgh driving right past Saugerties, then Newburgh back north on Thruway to Saugerties.

C'est fini! Another figure for the shelf. A few bricks, some broken dead tree stumps, foliage and a little sand, most courtesy of Woodland Scenics.

Great work Jack. I know how you feel about the vision. I am using +3.5 lenses and am constantly having to lift them to find stuff on the workbench.

The hand truck struck me as one of the "urban outdoors-men", but the AK puts that out the window. Like Denis says, a good start for a diorama.
