I have loads of photos of the funeral home and will publish a few here when it is finished. It is a Victorian house that has been repurposed for commercial use and has not seen much upkeep in the past 20 or so years.
The article on the Balsa-Foam Welcome Center has been published in American Miniaturist's January 2013 issue. The follow-up painting article will be in the next issue in February. As soon as I finish the funeral home I will complete the remaining few touches needed for the first volume of the Grande Barbosa Island Railway book: chapter one. Just a few days of work left, but trying to fit it in is a little rough, especially over the holidays. The above photos shows some of the rock work and basic dock adjacent to it. It still need the old tires and other rope lashings attached. This will be the first finished piece attached to the island when the base is ready after the basic roadbed and rock work base has been placed. Days and days of making rocks will ensue with holes for bridges and little trestles here and there. But that must wait a while yet.
I hope this new years brings everybody on this blog good will and some progress on the financial end as well.
