Superior & Seattle Railroad Build (Volume 2) Started 2/25/17

I then added lots of 4:1 water:white glue until it was completely soaked.

I use beach sand over the foam to fill in my land forms.  The next step will be to add the dirt and rocks that will be the top layer. For now it's time to let the glue dry.

I managed to get a couple hours in at the workbench,  again today.  I added more of the window castings on the Mackenzie build.

Great dilapidated modeling John.

Very nice work. I'm not sure for the colour of chimney (too red in my opinion), but the wall colour and weathering are just outstanding.

Thanks for the kind words - you are absolutely correct on the chimney - I have only applied the primer quote - I plan on rusting it up with chalks and powders. I'm finding I like doing the detail coloring once things are in place. You can see a couple places where the window castings need some touchup from the assembly process.

Hi Jim


I'm glad you love the building - how about we give you visitation rights.

Hi John:

look like you have dilapidation down quite nicely. Keep the great photos coming.

Hi Karl


Thanks for stopping by the thread.  I wanted to do a "run down build" and found a place to make it work on my layout. I'm really having fun with this one.

John,

Great job on MacKenzies. I built mine about 20 years ago and it was a lot of fun. I had it on my old old layout, three layouts ago.

I still have the structure but got rid of the diorama.
