At the moment I'm workin' on a small 4' dorima for some pictures. I have also improved on the quality of my pictures.
My Big project that I'm working on is Super detailing my SW1500. I haven't worked on it because I still need my parts to get in.

Having just (Saturday) finished installing the necessary subgrade, I'm now caulking down fan-fold underlayment (10mm foam) for a nine yard stretch of to-be-hidden track. All of the foam is cut, but the plywood needs some TLC (in the form of cardboard shims) to correct some twists and buckles - even after applying angle iron to correct the worst of the problems. Next will come a layer of posterboard (combination template and reinforcement) and then the flex - plus wood ties for what will be two hand-laid turnouts.
I use bright white caulk for anchoring foam, and grey caulk for the posterboard, wood ties and flex.
When finished, that will just about double the length of my available run. (I'm running John Armstrong style; back out of the single-ended yard (to be hidden staging) to end of track, run forward to the other end of the "main," then back to, and into, the yard. That, plus some reshuffling of consists, constitutes operation on the so-far-built portion of a 1:80 scale layout that will eventually fill a 2-car garage.)

I'm trying to make rock out of tiles!
I'm also trying to decide which buildings to salvage from my childhood layout.
Well. Let's see here. I'm getting ready to put my AR-15 back into its original M-4 configuration and sell all of the tactical accessories off of it to a friend of mine for about $500. I just bought a new truck and am looking for a tool box to put on it as well as a bug guard and a few other items. I've been wanting to build a life size butler for the front hall entrance for a couple of years now, and though I have the head, hands, old tails tuxedo and all, I still need to build the frame for it. There's a new chick that moved in down the street that I've been trying to figure out a way to meet and ask out. Etc, etc. Oh, you meant train related projects. No, I don't have any of those right now...
