First model

See pictures below for my first model, it still needs weathering but it is a start.  I am still in the design phase for my layout.  It is not as easy as you guys make it seem.

Welcome to the forum. Nice model. I like the scruffy scene outside the fence. As far as looking easy, that is only becasue we don't show the four weeks work between the photos. I have been working all spring and summer on one side of my canyon.

Looking forward to additional posts.

If you think you have it right, your standards are too low. my photos http://s12.photobucket.com/albums/a235/ARTHILL/ Art

If you can do that as a first model, you won't have ANY problems building a whole layout!

Nice job both building and painting. The interior looks really good too. The only other comment is that smokejack doesn't look long for the world at that angle. Smile [:)]
Regards, Jim

I think the vines growing up the side of the structure is a nice touch. It helps tie the scene together. I like the colors as well --- nice work.
Enjoy the hobby Perry
