Sunday Scenic Showcase 1-6-13 New Year Edition...

That looks real leavingtracks.   Here is a corner that my son and I finished last day.  Buzz is wondering where he left those little green aliens.

Happy New Year Alan

Here's a drive in movie screen I just finished for a fellow forum member and in the background is the next project, 4 MTH banks converted into Penn station.

Alex

Nice work, Guys !!

My project for the year, finished up Woody.

Parked in front of my favorite establishment.

Vulcan:

Nice work on the Woody but it is really good to see pictures of "my favorite establishment " again.  I enjoyed all the posts showing the original construction.  Growing up in Eastern North Carolina in the late 40's and 50's, I saw lots of buildings that look just like your model (including my grandparents store).. The signs are so true to life.  Brings back memories of what seemed like simpler times.

Thanks for posting,

Don

Power Grid is connected, coal inventory replenished and cotton shipment arrived.

Time to do some groundscape and get workers in place to start making Denim. But for now I'm gonna remove the "belly-buster", unreachable corner work platform and move on to another stand-up type project of some sort.

Yours is my favorite picture of an" establishment" Vulcan.  And, now I will be reluctant to show my store bought Ford woody--great "restoration".

Nice work fellas,

I just completed two corn silos for an addition to and Ethanol Plant I constructed a couple of years ago. The last picture is of a cut-away storage tank model for an oil company. The tank in the picture is 60 feet in diameter measuring 60 feet in 1/4 scale.

Little  Scene on the layout . Getting started

As usual...wonderful work guys!  I wish all of you were my neighbors and had nothing to do but work on my layout..

Fred...you sure got that Woody project completed quickly.  I am sending a couple to you so be on the lookout...

Scenic Sunday is always a reward.  

Vulcan - Where do you get those gas pumps from?  Are they 1/43?

TMack, it was K-line. Modified a little.  What the actual scale is, I don't know.

Thank you, Don.

Alan, seems like a long time to me. I started it last year.

Great work, everybody.  

Vulcan - You are one helluva modifier.  

Very nice.

-Ted

Jeez, you guys are incredible!  Vulcan, I'm in disbelief that you took that molded hunk of plastic and created that gas pump.  Yikes, I'm envious.

Thanks to all.  Humbling but also educational.

Ron

Wow, some really great work guys!  Thanks for sharing.

I have been working on my Harbor a bit, and started a freight house.

The harbor is looking good, Rich.

The base on the statue of Liberty is a pre-Vulcan design.

Really great stuff everyone!

Rich, are those walls made from the Lowe's tiles?  They look great!

Vulcan Amazing as always...gives me a mark to aim for with my gas pumps for my '50's Flying "A" gas station...

Rich, some of the best water I have seen...reminds me of parts of SF bay...

all very inspirational...hopeful to someday post my work, once I measure up....

Vulcan,woody looks great---theres a real one on E-BAY if your interested,went to $99,500 and didn't meet the reserve -28 bids.Or you might want to list yours as there seems to be a big interest in them,i'm sure yours would be a little less costly.  Rich,water front scene is dynomite!!,really like the tug and the Mobile storage tanks.     Chet

Yeah, I quit bidding after $95K. Too rich for my blood.

Thanks for the nice comments guys.  

Water is auquatex glass painted on the back side with rustolium camo green paint.  Picked up the tip form Dennis B's book.

The stone work is indeed the Lowes mosaic tile.  I saw a few posts here about using it, and got motivated to put it on the layout myself.

Vulc, I use to watch them being built in Tampa. Here's the web site link to Woodies and gas pumps - http://www.shadetreemechanic.c...les_motor_car_co.htm

Steve, thanks for the link !

Another great video, btw.

Very nice stuff again this week. You guys inspire me to build another layout, but no room at the inn. I started to mention names, but just too many.

Waiting for Alex to move down then we can start a TN. Highrailers South, LOL!

Anyway, all the works posted above look great!

All I can say guys is... Looking good. Thanks for posting.

The harbor is looking great, Rich!!!!

Great work everyone...looks like a great start to the new year.

WOW everyone just outstanding work, like Chris said above great start to the new year.

Waiting for Alex to move down then we can start a TN. Highrailers South, LOL!

Anyway, all the works posted above look great!

Hey Steve it would be great to get some of the guys above also, can you imagine all these great craftsman.

Alex

Alex and Steve....I love the idea of a southern group of highrailers....wait....how about using the MA3Rs as a start!!!???

Alan

Awesome work everyone - thanks for sharing!

My next weathering project . . . . .

Photo taken by me in Danbury Connecticut last Fall with Dave Allen

Might just be my opinion but I don't think she needs any more weathering? Didn't know you had moved onto "LARGE" scale.
