Sunday Scenic Showcase July 30, 2017

Looking forward to watching this develop, Alan. 

One loop , four trains, one scene.

A few shots of the water tower that I finished this week. I have a spot for this on my short line, near the yard.

I have just completed a luncheonette owned by a customers father in NJ. The building had changed a lot so I worked off an old drawing the customer had made. Below are some pictures showing initial construction and the final product. Attached is a more more comprehensive article. Any questions on procedure, technique or glues give me a holler.

A triumph, Joe. 

Great stuff, guys!

Peter

Thanks for your comments guys

Joe

Great Stuff. Al! You're building a lattice flare... I'm going to watch this with great interest.

And that scratch build is a beauty. What did you do to create the brick work?

Myles

i use plastruct code ps-100 brick patterned sheet. They also have a rough brick patterned sheet. The material is about .020 inches thick so I back it up with .040 inch styrene sheet at a minimum.

Thanks Al. I also would like to know what type of bricking Joe Fauty is using.

Allan is my mentor so I plagiarize  - use the same stuff.

Joe

Thanks. That brick sheet looks pretty good and is an alternative to laser cutting.

I just ordered some of the PS-100 sheeting. I think I'll use that for the Nighthawks Cafe Building instead of laser cutting it. It will actually cost less and I can get to work on it sooner rather than later. I also bought some styrene railing material based on Al's recommendation and two additional pump/motor sets. I need one more pumping station to get cooling water to and from the cooling tower. The Nighthawks building has simple windows and Grandetline or Rusty Stumps will work well in this situation.

Added some trees and additional hikers to my mountain recently:

Really like the hiking trail. My grandkids are trying to get me to install one on my mountain. I probably will.
