All I've done this week is paint. I'm beginning to hate painting this building. Phooey!!! OK. I feel better now.
I've been cutting and assembling front porch parts while waiting for layers of paint to dry. If it turns out OK, we'll call it the Portico. Otherwise it will remain the Front Porch.
Today I glued the stoop and the stairs together and cut the posts to support the porch roof.
The first picture is the portico I'm attempting to copy. The quality is poor because it's blown up from a rather small picture, but you get the idea. The second picture shows the partially-completed stairs, with some of the posts for the porch roof propped up to give an idea of how it's going to look. I think. I hope. Maybe. Sort of.
The TP on my workbench was left by the team who recently decorated our front yard. Comes in handy for wiping glue off my fingers.
Claudia, almost looks like your going with a SP style paint scheme on your hotel. I'd sure be pleased to be one of its occupants! Shrink me down Scotty!
A pair of ex-Susquehanna Dash 8-40B's lead a hot shot intermodal train. (Blurry)
My layout. It is a MESS! Please excuse the burrliness, as my camera's battery was running low(It seems to take blurry photos when the battery weakens.) I am planning to create a dog-bone shaped layout. It looks nothing like a dog's chewing bone, though, as many of you probably know.
A freight goes by as a trucker approaches. Notice the green and blue markings? Well, you know how layout-planning can be.
Oh, I forgot to mention. The speed limit's 40 and the train was goin' 5.
And next up on the chop-block... I MEAN weathering block...hehe..
An Athearn RTR PS 5277 RailBox. Thank you Athearn, I love that prototypical overspray on the roof!
Wow, nice pics, everyone. Wish I had some pics I could load, but I don't have anything to transfer my pics from slide or print to the web.
Plus, all my pics are yellow because I doan't want to invest in tungsten film. Can you take these types of pictures with a digital camera? Is it a good investment? A viable succesor to the K-1000?

All my stuff is digital. The cameras out now a days are very affordable, though expect to drop around 300-500 at least for some type of quality camera. But think of all the film and processing you save
Well heres a couple of a stranger on my layout. Got him on eBay a while back. Have to wait till a few classes in weathering school to make some improvenents on it
