Don't laugh. It's what Uncle Russ uses to get the beer and firewood up to his secret hideout.

When necessary it also serves as a bathtub. My secret hideout is pretty rudimentary. -- Russ

hi all.
this time my post is about a example of french model painting re 1870.

.

lovely is it not.there was a whole style explosion in model painting that went with the explanation of  the industrial process.they were experts in stone rock concrete brick.maybe it was from the same workshop using the same exerts?these experts were often overlooked or forgotten over time.

I think Tom Yorke made a kit based on this building.
