Max Foods.......the walls are starting to rise.....

Peter

Peter,  Max Foods is looking good.   I like the subtation kits, and just bought my 2nd one for a "kitbash"...  

Looks like you're going 3 panels across the front, and maybe 1 deep ?   What do figure the overall dimensions will be when you're done ?  Keep posting your progress, I am anxious to see the roof layout when you're done....   Chris a

Chris.......this is the "mock up".  I still have a unit to go. I am going slowly so I think thru the assembly.

I believe I will attach the next wall and right angle side. Then attach the 1st floors on the ends. Then,  build the back wall and add it with the floor sections on the 2 middle units.

Working on a flour mill. Mill part on the right is completed. Am now working on the grain elevator which is an old Lionel kit.

I carefully cut away all the excess base as shown below. The remainder allow a secure base to glue the wall to and was painted to look like a stone foundation.

Here is a before and after of the truck ramp. I glued strip wood to the surface and aged with India ink solution.

Pete, thanks.  It's going to be twice the size I was thinking from your last photos.  A whole city block I'd say.   I am working on my coal mine module, two tipples, power house, general store and a couple of company houses.  

Nice doggie... he leaves your stuff alone?

Good work one and all.

Guys that's some great work by all of you.  Alan that's a top notch power generating facility you've built.

Contribution for the week. Continuing the process of gluing grass tufts, placing actual Arizona desert dirt on the plaster and ballasting. Seems like in this phase of the layout building process, there is still a ton of things to do to complete this masterpiece. Enjoy!
