I love the 1/87 scale C clamp and 4 way lug wrench.
Those are probably 3/32" if that.

I've seen other pics of this that show the items on the counter better.

Pieces of jute rope super glued at the bottom after cutting to desired length. Un twisted and sprayed with clear coat or hair spray. Sprinkle a blended turf on it and spray again to seal it. A bush is created.

Me with train and crew at King's Island, Cincinnati.

Probably circa 1973/74.

A quick look at my next move. Water fall is next after painting the lake. The plan is to pour both river and lake at the same time. The back drop is cut and installed. I'll take it back down to mount the mural on it. It's mount with mirror mounting hardware, spring loaded top mounts.

I've seen people use lengthwise "shredded" clear tape with "EnviroTex" or other water making material poured over it as a waterfall.

I'm using parts of this concept. I'm learning as I go along. I'll start over if it's not realistic enough.

LGB, or G (Garden, IIRC) gauge is popular for some reason to run at almost ceiling level.

It's close to the old #1 gauge, from which "0" gauge is derived (note "zero" and not the letter O"), which in turn influenced both "00" (double zero, British 1:76 scale),and HO (half O, American 1:87 scale), by which time the zero had been lost and was commonly referred to as O.
