I'd never heard of the briar patch stuff before. I see some applications in HO. George Fly Army Country: USA | Posts: 16811 Carl B Fireman Premium Member Posted - 02/06/2021 :  10:20:06 AM     I like the appearance of that "briar patch" as well. Unfortunately, it appears Scenic Express is phasing it out.... Country: USA | Posts: 4158 sgtbob Fireman Premium Member Posted - 02/06/2021 :  11:48:23 AM     Bill, Greg, George, and Carl. thanks for your posts. I still have not finished off the decorations but I wanted you to see how the briar patch makes shrubs, just tear off a hunk and glue it into place. I know, my bushes are not as big as the original ones but I just didn't want to cover up all those bricks I placed.

In the meantime I wanted to let you see what lighting I have installed. All are LEDs. This is with just the interior lights on. This is with the porch lights on. I may want to tone down those porch lights.

Greg Country: Canada | Posts: 9058 Michael Hohn Fireman Posted - 02/08/2021 :  11:44:37 AM       Bob, The decorations and lights make your house homelike and welcoming. Country: USA | Posts: 7257 Orionvp17 Fireman Premium Member Posted - 02/08/2021 :  12:36:10 PM     Nicely done, Bob... you've turned a house into a home. Bravo! Pete in Michigan Country: USA | Posts: 7534 sgtbob Fireman Premium Member Posted - 02/09/2021 :  07:53:14 AM     Jerry, Greg, Mike, and Pete, thanks for your comments, they are all much appreciated. I have a few more details I need for this model. The actual cottage has a porch swing decorated for Christmas, hanging in the round area. I searched the web and found some basic dimensions for such a swing. Having used styrene strips for countless models over the years I have a couple of boxes full of scraps. I raided one of those boxes and found leftover strips to throw together this swing. The hanging hardware will attach at those brass eye bolts.

It's nice to have a large junk box. George Fly Army Country: USA | Posts: 16811 Michael Hohn Fireman Posted - 02/09/2021 :  08:45:26 AM       Bob, Excellent work for something that you “threw together.” Mike Country: USA | Posts: 7257 Pennman Fireman Premium Member Posted - 02/09/2021 :  09:10:48 AM     Bob, I hadn't realized I haven't posted since 12/16/2020 to your thread, I am truly sorry. I missed a lot of great building going up. I might have to re-think the use of styrene as a building component, for you do such nice work with it. Your projects are always a joy to watch. Rich Country: USA | Posts: 4698 Terrell Fireman Posted - 02/09/2021 :  2:18:57 PM     That's coming a long great, Bob!! Country: USA | Posts: 2352 Ensign Engineer Posted - 02/09/2021 :  3:37:44 PM     Bob, nice porch swing, I wish you and your wife could sit on it and enjoy your newest creation. Greg Country: Canada | Posts: 9058 sgtbob Fireman Premium Member Posted - 02/09/2021 :  4:18:05 PM     George, Mike, Rich, Fred, and Greg, many thanks for your input. Greg, me too, I would love that.
