First shovel full of dirt for the construction of the water treatment plant. I'm kind of worried though. If he's the only one working, this could take a while. But seriously, I started scenicing the foreground of the layout. Tonight I paved the access road in the pic and static grassed the area around it. I also weathered the dumptruck and made a load for it out of woodland scenics fine cinders. More to come.
P.S. How do you guys get such a good depth of field in your photos? All that's in focus in the above pic is the figure and truck.
I started building the trackplan that I developed and had modified several times from suggestions from the Switching Layout Trackplan thread. (Thanks Guys!) The first thing I started doing was adding the foreground area. This is a section made from 1/4" floor underlayment luan where no tracks will run. There will be a canal and resivoir on this section as well as several buildings. Anyway, here's the pics.
First the dam where the resivoir will empty into the canal.
Here's a veiw from underneath the same area.
For now constuction is stopped since the drill battery died and is charging, but there should be more progress soon.
