Time flies when you are having fun............ Ive just checked the calandar and if my maths is right, March the 20th 2008 is the 6 month aniversary of the shed arriving. Work inside started on the 22nd. To mark the occasion I have had the camera out to make a new video that shows most areas as they are todate, after 6 months progress.
Besides the farm in N scale nothing else than only treemaking to me the last 2 months.....
here you can see some armatures withoutthe foliage and some trees that are ready ..for the tree "insiders: " Fagus sylvatica only tha frame/armature and some Alnus glutinosa's ...
Here's the next structure I'm working on. It's the DPM Powerhouse, one of their modular buildings. This is the first modular I have built. It took a little time to square up the edges, but it built into a nice building.
These are the powerhouse before I airbrushed it with Poly-S Dirt color.
Nice eye-popping weathering on the tank car, mrtpls.
Here is a recent image. As if from atop a hill overlooking a siding and the descending grade into Seneca Falls, a Norfolk & Western Y6b 2-8-8-2 Mallet holds back a long heavy consist of H2a hoppers laden with coal.
The first photo is RI 712100 that I added a graffiti decal too. It is still lacking additional graffiti, weathering, and removal of the Plate C decal.
The second is a picture of (front to back) 1 of 3 new Intermountian covered hoppers, graffitied 712100, 1 of 4 new Proto 2000's, and 1 Intermountain ACF covered hopper with one graffiti decal and missing the Plate C decal. All of these lack weathering.
The third photo is a set of five new Rock Island Accurail covered hoppers that I am building. These are dated as 1999 builds and will be clean units with blue bearing paint. By mistake I added Plate C decals and those will come off. I'm waiting on additional decals to finish the opposite sides. These will also receive Dull Cote to hid the decals.
