I have had time to get some more done on the cold storage facility, but the more I looked at it, the more I decided I wanted to add another door. Now it has gone from 30" to 38" long, and it means that I nee to re-do the long section of the photo pasteup. I will be able to use the old one as a source of relief details.
The other thing I wasn't real happy with was the unevenness of the wall sections. I think I took my photos a bit too early and they were in the shade too much. There were also four reefers spotted on the siding, and they cast shadows and reflected light weirdly and that meant a bunch of cutting and pasting. I also forgot to renumber the door locations before I printed out the master. I thought about painting it after I had it all glued up, but I thought it might be too hard to get it weathered right without messing up the rest of the photo.
This is pretty much what I ended up with after stitching it all together.
I'll go back today and take more pix at about 1:00 or 2:00. I noticed there weren't any cars spotted yesterday.. so here's hoping!
The building is the height of the wall section at the left, which will be a flat along the module edge. The build out for the loading area will be the actual model. I am using the paper faced foam core as the support, making it removable for track cleaning and such. The loading section will run from the section joint toward the end of the module. The building and little trailer on the left will be on the other section. Hey! I should probably post a picture of the whole module design. I have a schematic with a track plan, but not all the buildings and scenery elements.
Something else to do..
