Welcome to Henderson

So the interior of the drugstore is finally completed, it's a bit crude

Not at all, it's amazing as others have said!

Nice interior Ron!
I would go mad painting those figures!

Love it!

Thanks for the words of encouragement Jerry, Rick, Larry, Mark, Philip and Karl.  I'm glad everyone likes what I'm doing.

The goal is to plant the buildings before I leave to go back to Canada.  The first step in going that was to repaint the sidewalks that I originally made in Kentucky.


 
I thought I picked a colour that would pass as concrete but as you can see, it was a very poor attempt at picking a colour.  Maybe I should have used colour swatches.   





 
I'm much happier with the second colour choice.






I used brown and black panel liner to highlight the cracks between the concrete tiles.






I then used various shades of Pan Pastel greys to add some variation to the sidewalk and to make it a little weather beaten.

Now I got to install these puppies.   

Thanks for looking in.

Wow, Ron. I just realized today based on someone's comment in the coffee shop that you had a build thread. Sometimes I'm not the sharpest crayon in the box.

You are doing truly outstanding modeling Ron. I especially like the interiors, lighting and signage.

Needless to say I'll be following along now.

[Jerry]

I like the coloring and weathering!!

Fantastic job on the corner drug store. And, I love the look of the sidewalks. Just wonderful stuff here.

See you tomorrow.

Ron, the lighter color for the walk looks better.

Hello Ron, the sidewalks look great, can't wait to see the whole scene put together.

Thanks for the comments Curt, Jerry, Tom, Rick and Jeff.

Another busy night in Henderson, It actually looks like a town now.  



The sidewalks are installed.





Decided to add a backdrop so it looks like the street goes somewhere.





The buildings are now planted.  Below is a couple more views of the town of Henderson.









Thanks for looking in.

Ron, that photo backdrop works perfectly with the scene.

[PRR Modeler]

The backdrop works great Ron.

Howdy Ron,

The drugstore looks terrific and complements the good-looking town of Henderson.  Nice work on the town.  It's been fun to watch the build.

Have fun,
mike

Looks like it would be fun to walk the streets in Henderson.  Wonderful job Ron.  And the backdrop is perfect.

Thanks for the comments Rick, Curt, Mike and Jerry.

The backdrop was a last minute addition.  Without it the town looks small and I really didn't like the blue sky at the end of the street.
