Thanks !
Actually it will overhang just like the drawing
I just don’t have space for 2 stalls
I thought for a minute there you were modeling an earthquake! [:D]
Not one building is level [;)]
I think the ski resort will look pretty cool though once you’re done.
Just don’t eat the yellow snow![;)]
The picture combines several techniques intended to make the layout more realist. This is the section of the wall at the head of the inside stairway to my garage loft layout. The trimmed commercial picture of the waterfall is placed behind the trestle to hide the top of the picture, and create perspective. Above the trestle is a section of SceniKing flatland and distant hills. I matched top blue of the SceniKing banner section at the paint shop, so that the blue painted above is exactly the same as the blue at the top of the 7 1/2 inch high SceniKing picture. By applying the picture and blue sky to a roll down window shade, the window is still accessable, but the transition between the window shade and adjacent scenery is nearly invisible.By painting the vertical flat surfaces on the front two sides of the scene a flat grey, it does not distract from one’s attention from the scene.
I’ve made a little progress this week.
That will be a lake there on the lower right
This should be a pretty dramatic railfanning location when it’s farther along:
And here’s my project from Christmas week when the layout was under a Stop Work order because we thought the house might sell:
Jim
True…very nice illusion. HOWEVER I see the earthquake has struck here as well. I see downed powerlines to the right of the picture. I hope they’re not LIVE! People could get KILLED!
Jim
Why dont you Hot glue instead of tape the cardboard strips? Kevin
Well i am changeing the way my layout is setup so no tracks, but on the bright side i got a powercab wensday!
Nice photo’s guys! Hey rollieman, you mean to tell me you didn’t do like I did when we put our roof on a few years back, dumping the falling off grains out on the new shingle packages and save them for you know what! LOLOL! Had almost a ice cream bucket full and the color was porfect for coal. [:)]
Been working on the tourist train last night and this morning and it’s almost ready. Here’s some pics.
Jeff–
That Elesco FWH system you installed on the IHC 2-10-2 just makes that locomotive BEAUTIFUL! REALLY nice work, there!
Tom [bow]
Thanks Tom, but I can’t really take credit for that. The locomotive came with it already in place.
Everyones thinkin it, I’m just sayin it.
Bond.
James Bond.
I thought that might get some attention, especially if I made it big and bold so that it jumps out at you.[(-D]
Uuummmmm… .what?
Sweet loco Jeff!
Uh, because I don’t have a hot glue gun? Ya makes due with what ya gots.
Truer words were never spoken! That’s something I have to do all the time. You can get a glue gun and 100 glue sticks from Wal-Mart for under ten dollars. They’re in the crafts section.
You’re right Tom. I think Jeff has now surpassed your modeling skills. [bow]
Well, since I already had the weathering supplies out, I did a few more pieces.
Here’s the BN SD40-2 that I’ve been superdetailing.
And a Athearn CSX 2970 Covered Hopper.
Good work everyone.
I managed to get some freight car weathering done over the holidays. the current project is to get sufficient stock to run the layout as 1930’s Chicago.
