Sunday Scenic Showcase January 28, 2024

Made some progress on my office building interior.

Added a third "executive floor"

Found a good carpeting solution with felt and Mod Podge.  Furniture and figures tested well secured to the carpet with Mod Podge as well.

Finished the board room after figuring out a design for the doors.

Work on the elevator shafts covering the tabs and painting.

With temperatures beliow -20 I spent last week working on grass and bushes.

In Central VA it went from the low 20s to the mid 70s this week.....time to paint outside.....

Dry brush weathering to occur in situ......

Have a great week, everyone!

I had a few distractions from making forward progress on my cafe but I’m back at it this weekend. I got my art deco inspired sign installed after a few fails. It still needs a bit of paint on some of the details. I still need to make a (removable) roof and do a few tweaks here and there. I am playing around with different figures in the dining room and I’m also experiment with different brightness levels on the LED lighting. I have 4 separate circuits so each one can be dialed in.

How many Stobe the Hobo fans do we have?

Hope there's a video coming that details some of the lighting in these pics! That sign especially is something I've wanted to recreate for several years.

Nice work everyone. Not much for me this week. I finished my coaling station. I printed a corrugated roof die from the OGR catalog and formed some roofing out of heavy weight (36) aluminum. Painted and weathered it. I also placed a computer desk with monitors and an all important coffee pot etc inside the coaling station office. I didn’t get a great photo. I do not have accessory power yet on this area of my layout addition so the inside lights do not work yet…..oh well Have a good week!

Mike

Amazing work everyone. This thread is always inspirational. We’ve got a bunch of great modelers on the forum.

Dave, Norm & Mike: beautiful work on your interiors.

I enjoy his videos.  Wish he was more careful,  he still would be riding the rails. Shoestring is another good Hobo to follow.

Mike the aluminum roofing turned out really nicely.  Where did you buy the sheet aluminum?

Norm,

Love those table lamps, they add so much realism to the interior scenes.

Malcolm

Thanks Malcolm! I wish I would have gotten a bit more paint on them.

Hoping to finish this sometime this week and get the vid done by the weekend.

@EmpireBuilderDave I got the foil on Amazon.
