The closet expansion has finally begun! The benchmark is complete, the sky boards are painted blue and will have  clouds added this weekend. They are about 20” above the foam base. It’s HO scale.

It’s 2 feet deep and about 10 feet wide ( long ) and will basically be a yard with background buildings along the 10 foot closet wall. I will attempt to shadow box this area as a trial run for the rest of the layout.

My question to you is this:

My hair mister got clogged with some crud that was in my scenic cement.  To fix it, I was able to pry up the nozzle cover over the black nozzle.  From there, I used some pliers to wiggle the black nozzle off.  It took a fair amount of force before it popped, so maker sure you have room for your hands to move when it does.  I used a micro brush and water to clean some chunks out of the nozzle.  I then pushed it fully back into place and snapped the cover shut.  Mister saved.  Your model and mileage may vary.

I am building a Woodland Scenics DPM kit of the M.T. Arms Hotel.  I would love to see some finished hotels so I might find some inspiration in painting it.  If you have one finished, would you mind taking a picture of it and sharing it?

Thanks!

Doug

Hey folks,

I'd like to share my freelanced home layout - the Cleveland & Eastern RR - with you.
It is built as a walk in layout and covers 25 sqm room.
