Frank Ellison's Stock Pen

Who's in charge of keeping the pen so clean?  LOL

I agree, you did afine job on the built, but it looks awfully clean...

Looks great. Will this be listed at your website in the near future?

Yes, it will be on my website fairly soon. I'm working on the instructions right now.

FYI--O scale cow pies are hard to come by!

I wonder if there are any Z scale cow pies to be found on the market today?  Gads, what a thought...LOL

Another winner, Dennis!!!!!

Very nice, Dennis!

Beautiful!  Perfect complement to Richmond Packing.

I have made acceptable cow pies with drops a Testor's model cement and tinted paint.  Lots of pies require lots of cement....and lots of patience.  I probably won't do many more EVER again.

I was going to suggest acrylics, burnt sienna with varying touches of black, dabbed with paint brush, allowed to dry, over spray with Dullcoat (easiest part). But, having once visited the now gone Louisville, Ky. stockyard, how can we model the smell?

Take a real cowpie and leave it in baggie for a week then punch a few holes in it!

Forty Rod: Are you talking Z scale cow pies or O scale or or or?

Truth be told--the Richmond Co. mucked out the stock pen per my request before I took the shot. 

Further thought:. Do they make smoke fluid with that "scent"?  And are there separately available smoke generators you could put in the stack of the neighboring packing plant?

There are smoke generators one can buy, although I've not tried to do this. Google:  smoke generator for model trains

Eat beans and greens....by the ton.
