I have posted these before. Here is the house I grew up in, and my elderly parents still live there. The original house was built in 1888 by my great-grandfather, Cyrus Boyce.
i built this diorama in N scale 25 years ago.
Wow Mark. We do a lot of stuff that is amazingly similar. When I first glanced at that I thought it looked just like my old N gauge buildings. Very nicely done. Good house, too, for a model. Great!
Thanks Lee!! Yes, the place has a lot of character. I would like to get back to doing some buildings and scenery in O gauge, but I need to kick our 24-year old daughter's boyfriend in the caboose to pop the question, so they can get married and I can get her 12x12 room. The Boyce homestead would take most of my current 4x8 itself. For now, it's just small stuff.
BTW, I said my parents are elderly. Dad is 84, He mows over two acres with a walk behind Gravely that is as old as me, and he has been replacing some of the concrete walks the last couple of years. Smashes up the old himself, and mixes the new by hand. Every time I ask if he needs help, he says I have my own work to do.
