Time to show an update of a new project still working on completion. This uses 2D cutting 3D printing and traditional model techniques. The 3 items are made using a combination of several processes.

The barn sides and roof panels were were designed and cut on a 2D Cricut from 4 mm chipboard. After assembly they wer sprayed with 2 coats of clear matte lacquer inside and out

Hello everyone and thank you for your messages.

After a short break of a few days in the advancement of the module, I have just resumed the works of the warehouse. While waiting to show you the latest advances, here is the very first video of a traffic on the main street of Ariège Conquest. Despite the musical background, we can hear the Alco purring. Slow motion in analog is already good and I imagine that once exploited in digital will be even better! (at least I hope so)

South Carolina's Williams-Brice stadium has a collection of expensive cabooses for football fans.  No expense was spared for these very deluxe units.

As the paint dries on the bridge project, I was able to wrap-up a structure project for the layout.  Quick application of dulcote to kill the shine on the downspouts and will call it done.

This structure will not be served by the railroad, but will be used to hide where a building flat ends.  (Lance Mindheim trick)

What’s an old brick building without a ghost sign?  In this case a long forgotten advertisement for “Orange Crush”.

Hey all, 

Here's the May update for the shelf layout that I've been working on. I started a handful of little projects including roughing in some base scenery, the basics of a few structures, and some planning for the corner section of the layout. Would be honored if you took a look!

Thanks!

I would like to thank DRGW-488-Fan for pointing out that the county engineer made a drastic mistake when the road in the picture below was designed.

To help alleviate the issue until the county can perform a new design study my HO scale road crew has installed the following sign.

In this short video I demonstrate my quick and easy technique for painting realistic and weathered concrete on my tunnel portal in Westfir. Enjoy!

I have a question for the welders. Having given a lot of thought to the idea of learning to weld, I've decided it just makes sense for me to hire that work done and have it done off-site, then screw or bolt together pieces once I have them home. But this means I'm going to have to ask a few questions here because if I learned how to weld I'd learn what's feasible along the way, but if I don't learn I'll have to ask instead.

I have begun the northern expansion of the layout, Coatesville to Birdsboro.
