Progressing nicely, and I agree the background elements are working well.

Cheers,

Kev

Another detail for Weyauwega. My rendition of the old depot foundation. The real thing can be found between the tracks in Weyauwega today. The main line is in front, and what at the time was a storage track for plastic pellet hoppers (et. al.) was in the back. The scene is severly compressed, you understand. At the time I visited, there was such items stacked and scattered about the place. I suppose its my eye for history that made me feel as though I had to include a representation of it. I got the brickwork a bit too red so I tried to weather it. Next time, I'd pick a different colour. However, I think it will pass.

Ahh, the magic of paint (and windows/doors). A roof, a couple of exhaust fans for those empty spots, and some glass might be nice..., and the steps, then the planting in mud, then...





Wow, that looks incredible!  The magic indeed.  That's the Middlesex Manufacturing kit, right?   Hands down the best rendition I've seen....the color makes it look like a completely different structure.

Sorry sirs. Its been busy for me lately. I finally got around to putting some banding on the lumber bunks. Frankly, I'd rather be applying individual number decals on N scale numberboards.

(Note to self: Apply banding BEFORE gluing bunks to rack :facepalm:)






More great progress, I see.  I need to build a lumber shed like yours for my layout...yours is actually good inspiration for that!
Regards,
Paul

Great trees! I like the touch of green still there.
And the grass and stuff below is terrific.
