Right now my layout is in the structure building phase. I have plenty of structures that are needed to be finished and put out on the layout so I thought I would share my work here with everyone. I usually do my structures in phases as well. Let me expain.
FIrst off I decide on the buildings I want and about where they are going to go. Then the colors. Next I build the buildings painted how I want and let them hold their places on the layout while I finish more of the layout and start on the scenery. The last step I give the buildings their character, like people inside and out, interiors and lighting and finish the scenes.
The first 2 stages happen pretty quick since they are the easy part with paint and basic assembly. Once I know where everything is going to go then I play with lights and fun stuff.
Here are some pics of some reciently completed and currently in work pieces.
