Sunday Scenic Showcase January 12,2020

Reworking my backdrop again. Trying to go for a richer sky color and I am trying to learn how to paint clouds after watching some YouTube tutorials. Still experimenting..

Very nice work Gents.

Continuing to work on “Woods Warehouse” for an OGR Forum friend. Applied and painted roof shingles and ridge. The rear roof panel is removable for access to the interior. A few more details to complete.

Very small project:

Sign for station stop on The Put: Yorktown Heights, where I happen to live:

LOL, Arnold

Alan and all, great work !!  Norm those clouds look real.

Small project for me as well. I recently picked up a CNJ RS3 without couplers from a friend. Did my first Kadee conversion, and am considering weathering it as well. I have a good friend who lives nearby, and is very good at weathering. Just before Weaver closed, I went dumpster diving, and pulled out some various shells to some day practice on.

Ray,

Very nice downtown scene. It reminds me of Causeway Street...

Thanks MELGAR, I can see the similarities

I tried my hand at 2 foot stand off signal bungalows made of card stock.

I am working on a small section of my layout. I kitbashed the storage building on left from old Con-Cor engine house kit; the Seifert Office Supplies building is a modified Cornerstone flat. The street in the foreground blends into a 1950s street photo on the backdrop.

I placed a station and added 3 light posts,wired and working.

Also finally did something with this section where the wye opens up. K-Line buildings,MTH Platform, some gravel, grass and trees. Wired all the lights.

Matt, 

Where did you get that neat backdrop to help create that illusion?

It is an old image I found on the internet. I did some resizing and color adjustments.

Great stuff, everyone!
