Sunday Scenic Showcase September 28, 2014

Very nice Alan!!

Here is a scene at one of the warehouses on the layout....

Alan

Here's a Korber two stall diesel shed, still a work in progress.

I am finally getting close to finishing up on an HO scale refinery for a customer. It is about 80% kits and 20% scratched built. It is amazing how many HO scale kits are out there compared to O scale. But then that is what keeps Alan, me and others in business!

Alan,

I love the picture. That is a great scene

Alex,

The engine house looks good. The brick detail came out very nice.

Joe,

Great job on the refinery. It looks very nice. You laid it out very well.

Alan Graziano

This is a very impressive refinery. Really nice job!

Here is another one....

Alan

spent more time then necessary with this backdrop, but it was a good learning experience with water color pencils and water colors. Now just need to add detail pieces located in storage in another state

Tried a pano view from the I OS upgrade.

Have a good week

That is quite a refinery!  Very impressive, nice job.

That is a great job and really looks good.  Backdrop blends very well with the foreground.

That is a really impressive backdrop

Al

Congratulations everyone. Very nice work displayed today.

thanks Art..IT was one of those cases where 1/2 the backdrop  detail doesn't even show. 

Since I have no room for layout in FL, I'm doing more detailed small rural diorama's.

Awesome model! ncng

The highways on my layout are getting more and more heavy traffic now.  

This is a terrific photo, Lee. The adaptation of large vehicles to Super Streets is to me the most significant development to date with this product.

Thanks.  It's been a lot of fun - and why I am rebuilding the layout so more can be run, etc. 

All good. Refinery is amazing. How do you fellas price custom projects like that? Is it cost plus, time and materials, fixed prices, etc?

This a hobby business for me. I quote a fixed price. 

Joe

Here is a kit I just finished!

A two stall engine house made from an old VHS tape storage box.

That looks great!  Very nice job.

Art

Very creative!  Nice job.

Art

WOW, Joe that structure is beautiful. Is it for your layout or a customer?

That's BTS' Orbsonia Station? Correct? I've always liked that kit. Nice Job! If I hadn't build my own, I would have built that one.

I would love to take credit for this but the kit was built by another forum member named scenery artist. I was asking who the kit manufacturer was since the building is beautiful!

Joe

Trainman:

I did a google search. Your right it is a BTS Special Project Orbisonia. $430 wow.............
