Sunday Scenic Showcase October 1, 2017

Guess I will join ya Al.

Trying to keep this once jam packed Showcase alive. Guess most are gone now or no longer interested. Maybe with all the free time on Sundays now, it will become more active.

 Here is one N&W from a 2 pk. I found, weathered car #1380.....

You guys produce wonderful projects.  Mine simply don’t match up, but I learn watching your work progress.  Ted

SIRT

Agree we need to keep this once THRIVING OGR thread alive.

Here is a building I picked up real cheap at a swap meet . I added some LED lighting and the figures, detail and loading dock. I just need to make space on my layout and light it up

I am working on few more that I should be posting in the next few weeks

Steve

You guys have touched my heart. I want anyone who constructs any scenery to post. I learn something from everything I ever saw here. I did not want to miss a week but I think we all lead very busy lives.

thank you all

You got it Al. We just couldn't see you sitting in your chair by yourself on here another week.

I don't miss football at all! Lets all get busy!  

All nice stuff, guys. 

I'm still doing hard time on the kitchen renno.

. . . and still no light at the end of the tunnel. 

I build all kinds of stuff, I just can't figure out how to post.

We miss your excellent work Max.  I just keep going back through your build thread.  Learn something each time.  Don’t see any creepys crawling out of those cabinets.  

Cupboards without doors: it's easier to catch plates and dishes! 

"Bon courage" for the end of your work, Max!

Thanks, JP.

I rather like them like that.  SWMABO has other ideas. 

Getting things together for this year's church layout. I'm expanding the paper building city that will be in the background of one section. Hoping to purchase and place the Menard's York Hotel in the front.

Alan;

I have long been in awe and envy of the skills exhibited by you and many others on the Forum, all the more so since I have no talent for such work. I am more likely to buy something already built than try to build it myself. Until now, that is. I have an odd little area at the edge of my freight yard - too small for another track, but big enough to rather stick out like a sore thumb. So I decided to try and build a loading platform to fill the space. I started with some wood strips I picked up from Jo-Ann's and some etched floor board sheets I ordered from a company out in Washington state. I ended up making three platforms, 24" long by 3" wide, and 1.25" high.

All in all, I am very happy with how they turned out, but in retrospect, it probably would have been much cheaper to buy some pre-made   

Paul,

you will always look at that corner of the layout and can say you scratch built that yourself. It is one of a kind.

There's a tool for every job.  Those heavy Lionel books are just the ticket for holding crossing planks even with the top of the rail while the glue dries.  

Beautiful work as always SIRT. Thanks for posting guys, I enjoy the thread. Hopefully I can post in the near future.

Andy

Always enjoy the pictures guys. Thank you for sharing 

I completed the flare structure. I wanted to post some pictures of the flare tips for forum member Myles (Trainman)

If you are wondering what the stain is on the back of the chair, it is from dying my wifes hair after I drank the case of Corona shown in the background of one of the other pictures.

Alan Graziano

I check out this thread every week.  Don't have a lot to offer because the layout has been down for quite awhile and I'll have to wait until we move to start on a new one. But I do have to say Good job by all, especially Alan. Not the flare because we have come to expect such immense quality out of such a talented artist, but for polishing of that Corona 12 pack and being brave enough to work on his wife's hair.  Never mind the stain on the chair was the dye job a success? Scariest moment of my life was being woken up by my wife with a pair of scissors in her hand asking me to cut about 4 inches off her hair. 

Joe,

It was a success.

"I love it when a plan comes together."

That flare head is a work of art. I don't think our readers understand how difficult it is to space pipes around toruses and have them come off at the correct angles. You're the real master here Al. It would have been cool to see that tower at its true scale height. It would have been AWESOME and would have used a fortune in Plastruct material.

I generally don't post my stuff here since I'm constantly posting progress on my never-ending thread. But for those who don't follow it, here's the latest pics of the Plastruct Petro/Chem plant. These are the flare lines coming off of the equipment relief valves. I'm going to paint these lines yellow.
