Ya jsut HAD to mention the tour of Lambeau Field eh? I've been DIEING to go on one.
Well, I'll have more progress pics of my layout this weekend; it's starting to look more like nature and less like a drop.

I have been pretty busy too. After school got out I started mowing like crazy and now I have a beautiful MTH SD70ACe on the way! Also took a road trip thru the Midwest to see lots of train museums and model RR museums. (Also got a tour of Lambeau field...) other than that the rest of my summer, well, all I can see is lots of grass.
Started working on some legs for my layout, trying to get it off the sawhorses, and am planning my 4x4 foot extension. Unfortunatly I have to miss a train show today, was planing to look for some cheap atlas switches. There's always next time.

Well, Vincent's technically a young adult, so true.
I managed to get the joint compound sanded last night, as well as getting the town planned out. Today I'll be hanging out with friends, but tomorrow I hope to make more progress on the joint compound layer. I'm trying to get it perfectly level since I'll be using Mod Podge for the water surface
Thanks for the bump Sawyer. Either we are all working madly away at our railroads and dont have time to post, or there was a sudden mass explosion of layouts all across america, and all the members arent alive any more.
Well, I have done a little work, but because I started college a semester late, I have to take summer courses so that I can have an AS degree by seven weeks ago next year, so nothing huge has happened.
But I also have been busy. I know you saw, Sawyer (I know of only one teen packers fan and modeler), but for those who dont know, I have been working away madly at a project for Ryan Anderson. Interested? Allow me to take 1:40 of your time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AO9Kuszg_FU

Well, I've started a new layout. no trackplan, as it's a loop of Unitrak with 11" radius curves. I've been plugging away at building the base for the river; I've already applied three or four layers of Joint Compound; I'm hoping it won't take much more. Anyways, here's some old pics (should have more soon):
The town is taking shape:
And the joint compound on the river is shaping up nicely
Here's a nice swimming area:
