I was feeling bad the last few days so i didn't do much of anything. Today, i started working the new bucket of mud around and in the pictures can see its looking so much better than the other stuff i was trying to use. There is two coats so far and waiting to put a third coat on and then i can comb the cracks out and make the hills look great. Four shots of this fun below, Smoke
No new shots but am going to clean the layout up and clean the track and enjoy it for the holidays. Starting the new year with running trains is got to be good for my mental health. Somewhere i have a tree for Christmas that i made for the old layout. Need to find it. Ya all have great holidays!!
I goofed!! While cleaning up the layout, I saw a area over my the removable mountain by the logging camp that didn't look right. I figured it out but i decided to fix it and now its a major issue. So, I can fix it and then i hope i don't screw up anything else. Shots below. And more later today. Smokey
My neighbor across the block had his lite-up Halloween Night. And by the way I did as suggested. Rich
I think i fixed the problem i started on the layout. Shots below. Now i don't know what i want to do next. Run trains or more scenery.
That's hilarious but true in Oklahoma since they passed medical marijuana law two years ago. People started putting up Christmas lights before Halloween. Joe
Not sure but my neighbor across the street has all color lights but they don't flash. He just got out of prison a few weeks ago. Maybe this time he will behave himself. If not, Know where he will be come Christmas. From what i hear from neighbors he has been in and out of jails and prisons several times over the years. Drug related. I have noticed that there seems to be more of a police force presents here for the last few weeks. Anyway, Hope everyone has a Great Turkey Day!!! I hope things get better next year, This year has been so Up and Down.
The good family moved away. I'm stuck with this. I finished the area where i was fixing next to the movable mountain. Shots below, laters
More shots. Ready for rock facings. Its started for sure. I have to clean up the trestle and i found my next place to fix. Its back behind the sawmill. From the water tower to the small river. Shots below. The next (fix) is that final shot.
I know..I can't not work on the layout. While waiting for ham to cook i went to work on the tiny part i saw last night. I may have to do a fine coat on it but it looks pretty good.
Awhile back when i started to open up the tunnel I had that back area where the main is going in a pass. On the front left side i had thought of putting another pass there and build up the piece of the mountain up to it making another Nice pass. I haven't really liked the hill of rock in the foreground up to the logging camp. I think it will be nicer this way. Its rough yet and i need to build up the mountain to match the other piece. Shots below.
I got the mountain pass done to where i can use plaster to smooth the mountain out. I have a plan for the other side but not ready to work that yet. Shots below
hehehe. I lost my main computer and i am having it fixed. Using my old board computer and it won't see the photos on my tablet. So no shots for this build till i can get it fixed. I kinda slowed down to give me a chance to get the main computer to working again, Laters
