Thanks, all I need now is a couple girl figures swimming in the tank!
With the last major part of the mill finished it was just a matter of details.
I added to the log ramp and added some logs waiting for their turn.
The sawmill debris was made buy taking a 4" piece of Christmas tree branch and running it through a pencil sharpener. I then added some fine sawdust to the mix and glued it all down. I added a worker with shovel and wheelbarrow attempting to clean up the mess.
I needed some finished lumber in piles and remebered that I inherited several bundles of vintage scale lumber made by Ayers (no longer around)
It took me a couple evenings but I made three lumber stacks, one 2X8, one 4X8 and one 4X12. I have another worker stacking the lumber as it comes out of the mill.
And I added a couple figures in the mill. The white shirted fellow is the operator/ foreman and the blue coverall guy is the fireman added wood to the boiler.
Around back I added a few tree stumps and a waste barrel. I'll probably add an outhouse as well. I'll leave the diorama the way it is until I start to figure out my logging camp on the layout.
