Sunday Scenic Showcase July 10,2022

Freight Crews of the RR are excited they have new rides!

The Ross Transfer Table should arrive this week......I've been slowly working on the TW TrainWorx Yard Office......

Base coat of black on the roof and Rustoleum Rust of the walls/chimney.....

......cutting out the windows and doors....

.......large windows and dooors assembled.....

.....gravel on the roof......the chimney serves as a "pull out " piece since the building houses the keypad for the Transfer Table....

......small window assembly was challenging.....look at how small and delicate they are.....

.....the concrete stairwells.....

The stairwells, doors and windows and windows will be weathered and I will spray some Dullcoat on the brick.......however, I'm at a hard stop........before I continue, I need the transfer table, because this piece goes inside and I need the electronics....

Have a great weekend, folks.....

Chipping away at the machine shop’s second floor shadowbox. Just waiting on some interior details like a drill press from Scale City Designs. I should be close to done once those, some figures, and the magnetic clip system is added. It’s been a fun one!

Great job, Alex!  Those structure interiors really make the layout museum quality.  You've turned that basic background kit into something very realistic.

Peter looks like he’s having so much fun working outside I figured I’d give it a shot. Just to nice a day to be in.  Glazed some windows and doors and got them glued in.

I bought some sagebrush a while back and made up a few trees. Unusable Supertrees that were either broke off or just to small we’re glued in place for branch structure with my new glue pot. I model the fall and need trees to have an airy look to them. I have my share of trees with poly fiber and net foliage. They look okay when grouped together. For off by themselves trees you need to spend some time making one. I’ll get them painted and lightly flocked tomorrow.

When going back in to get supplies or whatever I worked on a caboose project on the kitchen table. As usual for me. Nothing complete but a satisfying day project wise.

Dave C,

Cool projects. The building looks real nice. Would love to see the trees when you're done flocking and plant them on the layout. Remember it's the journey...

I love how just some of the panes are frosted.  I've seen that thousands of times in real life.  As I kid I never understood why they just didn't use clear glass when they fixed the busted one. Usually broken by a baseball inadvertently hit to right field (out of bounds because the factory was in the way).
