FOS Rust Rock Falls -- in progress

[Opa George]

Here is the cliff end of the factory, with more of the bracing in place, plus the added stairs and some etc.

Still looks kind of odd without the waterfall, but that is coming soon.

A bit of a panoramic shot of the rear of the factory.

Here is the standard "as seen from below" view, although you have to really crouch way down to see this in reality as my layout is low.

Skull rock is the prominent feature lower right, and is still much in progress. I will be shaping additional rock castings to attach and blend it in. 

Also, obviously, no waterfall yet!

Back of the factory and the area that is the future location of the rest of the kit structures when built: the company store, dance hall and luncheonette.  If I can, I'll be working in another structure or two to complement the scene.

The landform needs to be built up another half-inch to meet the level of the footbridge, and then sloped slightly to the road.

From the other side of the pillar, the road from Old Head port winds up the side of skull mountain to the factory complex. I've roughed in a cardboard road base along with foam bases for businessees clinging to the side of the mountain. At this point none of the structures are secured in place. I'm swapping them around to check for fit, overall scene, lines of sight, etc.

The near side of the road will have a similar treatment.

The mainline of the TMB & N runs in an extensive tunnel underneath skull mountain.  My plan leaves the side of this area open for track maintenance and cleaning, access to derailments, etc.  So why not make this a scenic area as well?  This was very much inspired by Dave Meek's Thunder Mesa layout, which includes an underground cavern.

Great looking progress George.

George, is that the Mayflower in there? What era are you modeling again?

Could be they got a little off-course from Plymouth Rock, but I have another ship in mind.

A model of the "Inferno" is rather expensive. The last one I saw was $2700.

This one is was somewhat less expensive. I have forgotten who makes it, maybe Revell.  Not the "Inferno," but more of a generic (and off scale--but hey, limited space!) pirate ship.

George,

Love all your structures. Looking good and curious to see your cavern finished.
