Even though I have considered my self a model railroader for a long time, there is a ton of stuff I have never tried.  I rely a lot on books and articles to give me tips and techniques and then tweak or discard as applicable.  Since I have Dave Frary's scenery book and he mentioned that Sculptamold was one of his favorite things for making ground contours, I thought would give it a try.  

Here are some pictures of the scratch built structure I submitted for AP Merit points. After judging it received 92 pts out of 125 max.

You know that point where you get done to the point that the rest of it just seems to go into overdrive? 

Yeah, normally me neither. 

But this time... about two days ago I looked at the layout and pretty much went, hey, this is finished enough to show!

OK this is my first time to blog, so bear with me. The building I have attached pictures of started out as a Walthers Golden Valley Canning Co. kit. After I built it I completely repainted and weathered it and mounted it on apiece of .060 styrene to keep it all together. I hand painted various bricks to make the building look more realistic. The roof top air conditioner and support platform were scratch built, painted and again weathered. I added additional detail items, people etc, also added scenery around the whole building.
