Been doing more to the mountain yesterday. Have a few shots of the work. I am almost done with plaster and getting ready for scenery. Lots of cleanup and smoothing out the scenery for rock cliffs and brown ground. I am waiting for my hands to stop hurting so bad. Shots below, Smoke
These last two shots are of the mountain off the hill. Its hard to see it but i leveled the rock coming off that wall of the river. Its the same height as the tunnel so i think it looks better. More later on that. Smoke
Thanks all. Taking a break for a bit. Seeing the doctors today will see if they try anything but shots for my Arthritis in my hands. I am still in pain from the work this last week on the layout. Will let you know. Anyway, Merry Christmas one and all!!
Christmas break is over, back at work again! This should be the last of the plaster work. The board is getting really heavy Couple of shots below. Kicking the new year off on a good note.
The only bad part is the weight of the plaster drywall mud. Its about as heavy as i would want it to be. From what i saw today it looks pretty good. Time to start working the rockwork on the mountain. Lots of Grey and Black washes to make it pop. Will show that when i get it looking good. Laters
Started doing some paint work on it. Ran out of air. I never thought i would wish i bought a air pump. I will pay half of the price of a air pump with a 6 pack of canned air. The thing is what do i do after i finish the layout scenery??
Digitrax DTX 51. Its that all in one dcc controller they make. I had one issue about 4 years ago. Digitrax made good on there warranty! I like it. They really back up there product
I have been running the engine to break it in. I got it so slow it almost can't see it move. Have been working on the water. First coat on. Don't look to bad. Have to wait till it drys to see if it needs another coat. Shots of the river and creek. I have to do the one by the houses yet. My hands started to hurt to much so i am getting off this thing. Shots below, Smoke
