Scenery - Structures
Summer 2020 Update
Hello friends,
It's been awhile between updates, but I've been making slow progress on my Erie Western / Chicago & Indiana circa 1979.
More details and pics to follow...
Building the bog
I'm venturing into new territory now with an attempt at some scenery, my first try at any sort of serious scenery. I'm building a photo diorama to shoot some models on as well as to test some scenery techniques. I wanted to try and capture a northern Canadian Shield view along a boggy body of water with a photo backdrop behind that I could change out to switch up the view a bit.
Going big with kitbashing
Greetings! Extra modeling time on our hands can pay big dividends on the workbench. We needed a means of hiding some upper-deck benchwork supports in the town of Berrian Vista on our 1927-vintage Sugar Pine Lumber Company layout and a large, semi-flat-profile background industry would fit the bill. We're aiming for a woodworking industry, some type of wood products factory such as furniture, millwork, barrels or whatever, and it started life as two Edison's Menlo Park Laboratory kits, part of the Greenfield Village series.
My Ambulance in N Scale
During 37 years as a frontline #Paramedic, model building and model railroading was my destresser from the difficult calls of the profession. Now retired, my profession has crept into my hobby.
Just completed this N Scale (1:160) model of my old Ambulance, that I spent many years responding in.
Anybody have experience using a "Corner Punch" or Nibbler on .060 or .080 Styrene?
