Boy... Details.

I've quickly learned the "dirty little secret" of model railroading and that is you can do the big scenic elements quickly... ground turf, static grass.

But when it comes to the small stuff... hour after hour after hour.

Oh I get a kick out of it myself... It's just sort of a culture change going from detailing big areas to detailing small ones.

Yep I like it when I get to the point of focusing on little ares at a time.

I have completed 3 structures for the ACTRR. The first two are Downtown Deco Addams Ave 1 and 2 but one was narrowed front to back in half and the other was cut to angled to fit across from the Bus Depot. The Third is the existing Bowling alley (Robins Lakeside Lanes) with the inside milled out to accept the Miller Engineering sign.
Now to get them out on the layout permanently.

If you look long enough, you are bound to find a prototype for what you desire to model on your layout.

Thanks Rick and Michael, I am really glad to get them done and off the bench. Look forward to mounting them and detailing the scenes.
