Concession Stands
Working on another group of stands for a customer and also for my own show. Its good to be back in the shop again. The bottom picture is my popcorn almost ready for the midway.
New Project Started
This is my next big project, I have always wanted to build the car shops main building in Baraboo. This will not be an exact replica of the building but close to it. I am using it as the center of my winter quarters diorama. I am building a winter quarters for the C & R Circus the way I want it to look and not as a copy of any other winter quarters. I will try and use some of the building that I have pictures of from other winter quarters that I like and incorporate them in mine.
The picture is the prototype pieces. that I have to make sure the measurements work for my space. the bottom picture is what I am starting with as a guide.

Sitting here tonight working on putting some pictures together for my Grandfathers Celebration of Life tomorrow has been hard. All the model building and Circus in my life is because of him and his encouragement.
The C & R Circus is named after me (Chris) and my grandfather Roy. Many things were learned from Grandpa such as, Take your time, work neat, build to scale, measure twice before you cut and learn from your mistakes.
The best part was enjoying the many hours in the workroom with Grandpa learning many traits, skills and respect I will always have and use.
I truly have something that is unique and was built by me and my grandfather.

I have been working on a new dish washer wagon for the cookhouse. I also had a question the other day from a fellow modeler about my Circus Candy stand and how I made the HO scale Cotton Candy. I used cake decorating supplies, the centers from some of the flowers on a cake. I painted them pink and like magic cotton candy. I am slowly gluing some to people in the seats, very slowly!
