Log Truck done for Rifle CO

Today I finished up the log truck scene at the lumber mill.  It was from a GHQ kit.  Really a neat little kit with wonderful detail.  The blip does not really show the minute detail, but it made it more fun to build - if a bit fiddley.  OK - the TINY turn signals that were to go on the cab were so small I could not see or find them after cutting them off the sprue.  Whoops.  The driver will have to use his hands old-school. The dozer provides a power winch to raise and lower the A Frame as well as controls the log grabbers.  There are no n scale models of the log grabbers so I looked at photos and made mine out of very thin brass rod.  Glad I did it - won't be doing it again.

Now - finally - off to make aspen trees for the foreground.  I will be using the "weeds" from Scenic Express and the finest flock I've got.  Maybe with a tinge of yellow at the top as it is fall.  Never did this before so should be interesting.  Looks easy - we will see.  I need to make a bunch.
