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. |

| View from under the trestle |

| Full view of the layout |
 |
| 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
