Jeff,

Very nicely done on the finished model. Good placement for it as well.

Looks really good, Jeff.

I'll have to try to find room for my kit somewhere on my layout.

Cheers, Mark.

Hello Tom, Appreciate the nice words, though not quite done yet. I have some work to do in getting the kit placed on the layout. Glad to hear that you are feeling better.

Hey Mark, thanks for the kind words. I definitely recommend this kit. It's really fun to build and it looks great when done.

A few more pictures of the Meat Company...

The only area I did not finish was the stockyard portion of the scene. I has previously built a Life Like mini stockyard pen kit and now I needed a ramp from the pen to the cattle ramp on the side of the slaughterhouse building. I had to have a way to get the cows from the stock car into the pens and then from the pens into the building.



I took some measurements and drew out a plan for the ramp. Using strip-wood from the kit and some 2 x 8's from my stash, I started the side walls of the ramp. I cut a thin piece of balsa wood for the ramp.



This is what I came up with for the ramp. I glued it to some thin styrene, then painted it and used some scenic materials.



Another view of the ramp.



Here is a view of the pens and the ramp. I painted the styrene base pieces brown, sifted on some dirt and other ground cover material as well as some sawdust to hopefully give the appearance of hay remnants. More in a minute

The kit has been placed on the layout and I've started to blend in the scenery.



I used some leftover foundation material for the small retaining wall between the building and the stock pen level



The pens and ramp- have been placed on the layout. All I have left to do is to finish the spur track and blending in the scenery.

Excellent modelling Jeff. I have a few Campbell's in my stash that I must get round to building one day. Thanks for sharing.
