Just some pics of what I accomplished this week
This is the J.R. Fillmore estate. Mr. Fillmore is the sole owner of Fillmore Concrete

The house has just been built and is 3350 squair ft. with an in-ground pool.

I do not know if this is Mr. Fillmore’s wife or girlfriend.

I do know that Mr. Fillmore has got to love trains!

A pic on the back of the house.

Thought I would share some pics with you all this mirning. Comments are welcome. Mike

I don’t know it could be my eyes, but it looks like the ladies in the pool have had a wardrobe malfunction. That water in that pool sure is clear. All kidding aside that is some fine work! Jim

Great scene you got there! And that garage sure is empty; looks like Mr. Fillmore could fit a model train layout in there quite easily!

Cheers,

Nice idea. The story explains something about the scene. I like that. The swirl around the one swimmer is interesting. Your trees are still too green for my eyes, but the clutter around the yard and track is very nice. I like the leaf pile under the one tree, but that indicates a deciduis tree and then you need some larger foam in the tree to simulate leaves instead of needles. Also if the tree is starting to loose leaves, a little autum colored foam in the top of the tree is in order. The shingle weathering is also very interesting. Thanks for sharing

Funny you should mention the model RR thing, I was looking at it last night and thought the same thing. Maybe this weekend I will get time to try building an HO RR for the garage. But then again maybe Mr. Fillmore has the entire upstairs for his train. Mike

Yep, that would be neat huh! Of course if that house has a basement, then Mr. Filmore could be working underground too!

Looks pretty good. The scene needs a little more detail though, and your trees are still too green. Overall, you have a nice thing going with it, and I like the story. Good luck!
