Sunday Scenic Showcase January 22, 2012

The coal tipple is looking great. If this is a kit who makes it.

I've been following the build on your coal tipple and I think you are doing a fantastic job.
Watching the construction of the buildings by the members of this forum has encouraged me and given me ideas to build my own buildings.

Mike CT nice work on the coal tipple, very impressive work. Her is our Yard Master making his daily rounds.

Work continues on the coaling area. I have all of the base foliage down now I just need to really detail it with grass tufts etc

Very nice Mike.

Great work on the tipple, looks very good.

Willbacker that is coming along nicely, great job.

Excellent work, Mike. Can't wait to see the finished product. Nice pics everyone.

Mel's Diner is very cool; love the evolution over time. I really like the stairway leading down the hill.

Some O scale Dumpsters this week.









$15.00 ea email me.

I have been working on a Walthers Crazy Kens Auto Sales. Just finished the outer and inner shell. I like to trim out the interior to hide all of the lock tabs and mold marks on the inside. I have a bunch of detail parts coming from berkshire valley and hope to get some figures next weekend. Working on the roof and lighting this week.

Great shots everyone! Love this thread!

Mike, that coal tipple is really coming along. Awsome work!

Will, that scenary is looking real sharp. Looking forward to seeing it finished.

Patrick, the woodsash building is looking good. Nice job!

Nice work this week by all!

Mike that kit is coming out really nice, great work

T8afao, the concrete looks great, Buzz is a good addition as well

Willbaker45, the scenery is really looking good

Mark, I like the shots of your town and station

Jim, Nice shots, are those form the city you removed?

Patrick, that structure is coming out great, nice attention to detail.

Wsdimenna, nice photo progression of the growth of your layout

Tmack, nice progress, I have enjoyed seeing your work with the kids

Steve, the dumpsters are cool

Steve, I like the blue brick, what process did you use?


Here are some photos of a building I have been working on. Up next is weathering and adding lights.

Rich,

Nice is that your creation or is that a kit?

Ted

Thanks Ted,

It is from the pecos river modular line.

Rich,

I sprayed Testors Military Grey color, the name of which escapes me. Then the I sporadically paint individual bricks Polly S: Pacemaker Grey, Grimy Black, CSX Grey, and Aged White followed up with a coat of Roberts Mortar and then wipe down. You have to wait about 48 hours before you mortar and wipe. If not sometimes the wiping will take off the water based Polly S

The Coal tipple is a
BTS kit.

All for the comments on the tipple assembly project. I have metal roof on order from Builders-in-scale, now part of C.C.Crow Listed in the very valuable Scenery Source List on this webpage under scratch building supplies.

t8afao. I like the concrete work.

willbacker45. Your coal tipple is very well done. Hopefully I can get the scenery on mine done as well as yours. Thank you.

Kunde (Mark). I really like the concrete work. It takes a lot to get color, curbs, retaining walls, steps, and detail correct. You have nailed it .

Jim Policastro. Great photographs. Great detail. I always enjoy all your people. Thank you.

Patrick H. Great looking building. I noted the metal roof install and some of the pipe and chimney detail, all very well done. Hopefully I can do as well with the roofing on my project.

wsdimenna. I always enjoy your pictures. Many get a second take, they look so real. Fishing in that stream would be fun.

TMack (Ted). The custom bridge is very well done;

SIRT(Steve). Who would of thought that trash could be so beautiful. Great paint work.

Steve H. That is pretty impressive paint work. Very good eye.

Rich 883. I like that basic manufacturing building. The loading dock should work well with detail and people.

Great weekend everyone. Thank you for participating.
Mike

I didn't get much crap anything done this past week.

Great work everyone!!
