Afternoon all, 

Thought I wrapped up the detail parts for the current build but then came across the 93 3D printed bottles and the crates they need to be glued into. Yikes! This is a bit tedious and will take some time/patience. 

Have a great one!

Wow, not fun!  Stop by as you feel up to it, and let us know how it's going.  Comments on other people's work are always appreciated, when you can't get down to your own layout.

I made this little house many years ago, that is based on a prototype.

I made the venetian blinds, walls, steps, and roof from scratch.

Hang in there Dave...we're all thinking of you. Best wishes!

Best wishes Dave and a speedy recovery!

I have had this bridge for years, but never had a place on the layout for it. For now, I will used it to display rolling stock or maybe someday in a diorama. This is my first time experimenting with oils to fade and create rust.

The other side is not complete, I will add some rust and graffiti to it eventually.

Just to prove I'm not goofing off:



Between doing some yard work, first time I can ever remember starting it in March, and waiting for my windows and posts this wall took longer than I had expected it would. This wall was built the same as the other two so no need to rehash that. I did opt to go with a smaller window on the first floor so I can add a workbench under it and details galore. Obviously I'll be building a landing or two along with stairs; watch out the first step is a long one.



A little bit different view. The windows/doors have acetate for glass and the interior of the building blacked out with black paper. I wanted to add some window shades as another little detail. Next will be to construct the fourth and final wall for the Mercantile. The bottom floor will be windowless so I can add a shed on the side of it while the second floor will have two long windows. I'm excited about actually seeing the building together with a roof on it.

Thanks for stopping by and look forward to your comments and/or suggestions.

Karl great job what is shaping up to make people stop and take notice.

Some may have noticed a lack of posts from me. Im battling cancer. Specifically, I'm battling a massive sarcoma in my left leg. It is swollen and painful to walk, much less get up and down the basement steps. Im doing radiation daily, with surgery upcoming at a future date. Then comes learning how to walk again.

 Please keep me in your prayers.
