Did the Amish move it for ya?

Mike, I like that you're now able to add more structures.
Will Fenimore Bros. still fit where it was in the first picture.
Looks like you've got the structures spaced pretty far apart.
Have you tried moving them closer together?

Howdy Rick,

Good questions.  Fenimore will go somewhere else, but next to the tracks for easy unloading. I just set it across the tracks to get it out of the way.

I'll add more structures to tighten the placement.  I was mostly trying to see how they fit between the caprock and the river.  The tannery will have vertical tanks on one side and a lean-to shed on the other.  The livery stable will have a small corral, too.  I hope to fit one more structure in the third module river level... maybe water works.  Still thinking about it.

Hope this addresses your comments.

Have fun,
mike

Funny Philip, that would have been nice!  ~mike

Mike you're making some nice progress!! Better to make the changes now rather than later.

Mike, Howdy,

Great progress. The abutment and bridge look fantastic as do the surrounding structures.

Very well done.

Good afternoon, folks,

This morning, I was able to begin landscaping the layout.  I began with plaster cloth over foam as a base for later applied Sculptamold.  Here is a photo of the results.  



Have fun,

That looks awesome Mike.

[Philip]

Slick!

Mike, nice progress.
When does the sculptamolding start?

[friscomike]

Howdy folks,

Thanks for the comments, Curt, Philip, and Rick.  I plan on starting the Sculptamold next week.  My daughter is taking me on a surprise birthday Sunday and Monday trip, so it will be after that.  She does that every year, and it is usually railroad-related.  

I plan on working left to right, so the bridge area will get more plaster cloth before I start with Sculptamold.

Have fun,
mike

I will be watching you work your magic with the sculptamold.

Happy Belated Birthday, Mike. Have fun!

Looking good, Mike.  You do excellent work sculpting the foam to get the land forms, the road in particular.
