Janbouli's Home Layout The Kannewton & CC

Heathrow is in perpetual construction. A friend of mine ran one of the construction firms working on it and he was always contracted there for the 25 years I knew him.

Sounds like the BQE (Brooklyn-Queens Expressway) in NYC.  That sucker has been under construction/repair/modification since I was a young teenager.....am now 68 and it still "aint finished"!!!!

Thanks for asking Tom , it's been hot and humid here the last 3 months, and now that the weather got better for modeling I am busy with the Challenge, as soon as I get that finished I will start on the layout again.

Finally got back to my layout .

On with another part of Clay Center, large factory as background flat. I am using Downtown Deco kits for this.


Sawing in half horizontally, do not need 4 story high building.


After priming with rattle can white primer, a first coat of Tamiya Deck Tan.


Next different reds and browns to color some of the bricks.

A coat of matte varnish blends the paints just enough to make it look natural after drying.


A cobble stone mat for the station square.


Station to the left and the background building in the middle.


A Pola factory building is the newer office edition to the factory.


Ready for scenery and hiding the gap at the bottom.


Another Walthers building to the right completes the factory site.

Glad to see you're back working on the layout.  The structures are perfect for that spot.

Thanks John and Jeff, I have to many hobbies , I think modeling will only become nr. 1 when I am retired , that's in 10 years.
