Well most likely this is the last update for 2011. Today I made some progress and got Main Street roughed in and also finished the first building on the layout.
In the next two photos I have cut and fit the foam core street base.
In the following two photos the styrene has bee cut and fit.
Next I will cut and fit the sections inside the rail and then get it ready to paint and weather. As I add buildings I will place foam core bases and set the buildings on sidewalk sections. Also some photos of the first completed building on the layout .
Foam core is cheap… couple bucks depending on the size. Styrene is expensive though… bought a 10 x 2 ft sheep or something like that. Can’t remember exactly how much but it isn’t cheap. The foam core is like 1/8 to 3/16 this something like that.
Thanks Doug, no they came in the kit. This is one of those that comes with the four sides glued up ( wish they wouldn’t do that) and it comes with a bunch of plastic detail parts. They call them DPM - Pre Fab … but really they are just 4 sides glued up is all. Still have to paint it… put the roof on, details etc.
