Fantastic work, my friend. I would look at it for a couple days and then and the next layer. I really like it.

Looks great John!  The rock work is wonderful as is the rest of the scenery.  Two thumbs up.

Great scene and modeling.

This is a great looking build John!

Thanks guys. Went a little further with the Goop and, at least preliminary, ground cover. I also added some more small trees and tufts, etc. For the record, the two beautiful structures are Reading Bob builds. I've got to tap out for the day...Hopefully, some more tomorrow.

WOW John , great , fantastic, gorgeous , I've still not found the right word for it. I especially love how all the colors blend.

Bigger better fascia...after I patch it up a little, install a few on/off toggles (for the sidings) and plug the nail holes, I'll paint it black. Also, making its forum debut, you can see the Stone Arch Bridge (unfinished) I got after watching Dave E's thread.

The fascia gives it a museum look. You did very well with it.

Beautiful treatment all around! How about some close-ups?

thanks for the comments guys...Vince, I'll go through the thread and see if there are some good closer shots...It's been a while since I've focused on the "Coast" side of the layout, where they may be some closeup-worthy scenes (and good luck with the new gig).


Plenty of satisfying projects ahead, with just a little bit more necessary infrastructure (boring) work like replacing the carelessly done water surface near the end, wiring up a few toggle switches for lighting and siding power, and patching and painting the fascia. On a parallel, but more interesting, path - I've got to figure out the footprint for Dead Horse Bay and decide how best to feature it on the end of the layout with possible tunnels underneath, lots of rock work, transitioning from cliffs to coastline with some grace, etc. Also, lots more scenery to do over in the Woods including a precarious road along the front of the layout and my first Sierra West kit.
