Soggy Bottom Hollow Micro - December 2024

December 2024 Layout Update

 
testing out placement of buildings in the hollow

Layout work has been quite hit and miss since the last update, but work has recently resumed.  Additional structures have been built, and I have started scenery work.  If all goes well, I should have this nearly completed by the end of the year.  

Building Kits Completed

O Scale structure kits I purchased and built 

I purchased some O scale kits from Make It With Calvin and built these in short order.  I added some roofing from a Clever Models texture CD I purchased several years ago.  Nice little structures at a great price.

Backdrop Painted

I used oil paints to create this basic backdrop 

Scenery Textures and Detailing

JTT Scenery Products Landscape Rocks

Colored to match my baseboard dirt color


Cornstalks from JTT Scenery Products along with colored rocks.

Stream w/rocks ready for water material application

I will be adding additional scenery material textures as well as a few figures and detail parts to complete the scene.  The final step will be to add Woodland Scenics Realistic Water and water effects to the creek.

Until next time,

Tom
