Sunday Scenic Showcase July 2, 2017

I got my two tunnel portals done and will start incorporating them into the scenery today. 

1st Xmas layout. Background to hobo camp.  Gotta shack, campfire and of course the hobos to go in. 

Progress on Max Foods.........

I didn't need another formal entrance, so brick paper does fine.

Windows for the upper level.

I love working outside summer mornings.....Max is helping as usual......

Interior details.....

Peter

Pete, nice project, but I really like the view of the gazebo down the hill on the lake shore. I could spend many relaxing hours there catching up on my reading.

i have not done much in a long time putting my efforts at the club.  I installed the new Morton Salt and added a new TMCC crane at the club. 

I like to make things from my diabetic supplies. Today, I made some Morton Salt shipping canisters.

I finally managed to do some landscaping on my trailer camp site , inserted trees and some shrubs

I am adding LED lights to this gorgeous structure:

I started another topic to find what a freight station interior looks like as well! This structure is so well done it begs for a full interior.

I am watching this build with the intention of building the same. But the question is, with all the work and effort, professional builders would have removed the doors and not just brick behind them. Doesn't it look a bit awkward OR is that a look you are trying to achieve?

There is nothing like the unusual, and this little slice of days gone by is exactly that. Your usual excellent build Marty.

I want to take some photographs of some rolling stock to show in some existing threads, but I want to show them off, so here are some shots of display diorama I am working on:

That is a great point. I would have to think it through. This is a building that will be part of a portable layout and will be packed/unpacked/stored/transported. I would probably have to do something other than paper(the door protects it), but it's a great point.

If pets could talk (and from time to time I believe they can) Max would say: "I did a great job on this building so far, thanks Peter for helping out here and there".

Great stuff to wake up to this morning, guys.

I agree, Peter, what a great view! Nice project too.

Al, what is the scale of the grain elevator? From the size of the doors it looks smaller that 1:48.

Myles

it is o scale but the doors are only 6 scale feet high.

Peter, forget the trains today. I'd rather be fishing at that beautiful lake.

Rod Miller

Peter, maybe you can cut a piece of sheet styrene or even thin luan to fit the opening and cover it with the brick paper.
