Today I decided to be very lazy. I plan to do some reading, chilling out and having a Diet Pepsi or two.

I'll start back on the layout and the rest of the chain link fencing tomorrow.

This morning I decided to build a wall around the large tank. I didn't think I had enough room or that it would look appropriate.




I spent a few hours working on it anyway. And, I was correct, it looked like #^&%*&^&*T.

I started by making a RTV(rubber mold) of some FSM stone walls.



More in a few.

I then mixed some resin and poured the resin into the RTV. After 15 minutes I removed the walls. They were still soft and I cut then at a height of three blocks high.

I then placed them around the area where I had room for the walls.



Here is what the walls look like around the large tank, like crap. There just isn't enough room to do it properly and look decent.




More in a few.

[ACL1504]

Okay, it was a few hours wasted but now I know.



I looks better without the retaining wall around the tank. Sorry OSHA, but this is my railroad.



I definitely need a Diet Pepsi break after that rat #$%$%&^^!

Back after fortification.

On a happier note, I finally finished the chain link fence including all the barbed wire. I didn't realize I had almost 9 1:1 feet of the fencing.

I'll start the scenery and then plant the fence in the next few days.
