Layout Update

[Anonymous]

Well, I have done a lot over this school break. I am going to make this quick. I have the first layer of ground foam on almost the entire layout, excluding the mountain and a small area in front of a tunnel portal. I have put some plaster rock castings on the mountain. I have yet to blend the castings with plaster, and then color them. I am hoping to get some Woodland Scenics realistic water for Christams so I can work on the creek. I have also created a wooden box under the layout to keep my locomotives in so that they don't have to go into their individual boxes when I am done using them. You can see part of the box in the lower left corner of the picture. I only have one pic right now, but I will add some after Christmas day. Now for the picture: http://community.webshots.com/photo/109373438/236223423fcxOui

Hey, that's a great over all shot of the railroad empire in the making. I wish more folks would post shots like that!

Good job, too. I especially liked that you used thick Styrofoam at ground level. The mountain is growing, er, coming along nicely. Keep posting updates. We all like to look! [:D]

GREAT JOB BNNBOY. I think we all appreciate the great pix you are posting. I have gotten a few ideas from them, and I'm sure others have also. Your going to have to have an "open house" when it's done. Keep up the excellent work.

Thanks you guys. I actually made a small boo-boo yesterday when adding some ground foam. I was shaking it onto the layout through my parmesan cheese shaker when the top fell off, spilling a large mound of foam onto a glue/water-covered surface. I was able to retrieve most of it, and the rest I blew onto the surrounding uncovered area. I added extra glue and water to make sure that it was fixed in place. Last night I was up late beginning construction of my rolling mill. I have a little over half of it completed. I have one wall left and the roof left, but I am waiting to weather the inside of it before I continue its construction. What colors do you all think that I should airbrush on the inside? I have the Walthers Cornerstone model. I was thinking about a light coat of black on the floor and rust on the girders.
Thanks,
Reed
