Agree John.....but can you slow down a bit till my new walking shoes arrive from L.L. Bean?

Did some productive carpentry on the little "Railton's Cove" area on my layout. It's still rough as I plan to add a tideline, more railings and walkways, some seaweed and litter, not to mention the scenery behind and in front of the rip rap banks and the structures above. I'm pretty pleased so far although it's kind of a challenge to photograph it effectively. Looks better in person...in my humble opinion.

Hmmmmm....sideways photos. Can't say I've seen that before...weren't sideways when I attached them.   Fixed it, but not sure what happened.

Looks very nice John, and has the feel already of DownEast Maine ...   Can I ask what you used for the rip rap banks ??


Thanks much,

Thanks Paul...It's just Woodland Scenics "Talus" a mix of their Coarse and Medium. Doug Foscale does a really nice tutorial on his Waterfront Scenery video. The next stages include painting a consistent muck line and then using powders just above to create a seaweed/algae effect as well. The DVD is excellent and shows real-life examples to help with the perspective. It's pretty monotonous work (especially when combined with the plank by plank walkways above, but I'm excited what it should look like once I "dull it down and mess it up" a bit. Thanks for looking in.

Butty John,

Very nicely done. The tide line and waves will really bring it to life. Excellent job.

Hi John,

It looks wonderful so far.  The additional detailing you're talking about adding is really going to make it come alive.  I can't wait to see it in person.

Maine definitely inspired me. Who can guess what's next?
