    The tracks in the cobblestone look really good. I’m not sure how it could look any better. Well done!

    Pawel,

    The sign turned out very nice. Great buildings and details! Looking good.

    I like the flaking plaster on the resin kit. That's a neat touch.

    I agree - Artitec resin models are very nice addition to any layout or diorama.

    It is time to fast progress. Buildings are ready, roads are ready ... First four buildings were fixed to the diorama. Genaral view:

    Amazing, makes me want to work on my diorama now. Although my hands are full with the regular layout right now.

    Pawel,
    Very, very nice! Like the roof weathering on the houses. The buildings are impressive alone, but they are even more impressive as a group!

    I think they are even better at close-up view...
    There is still some tuning, weathering to be done. People and vehicles must be added as well

    Love the city houses... maybe paint the sidewalks a different color from the cobblestone streets?

    I agree, Matt. Every once and again I see an Artitec kit that I never saw before. Is there a compilation of all of their kits somewhere? I have built a couple of their more recent kits. I purchased an older "Hen House and Pigpen" kit . I have no idea what I'll do with it being a city railroader myself. I had to have it. Jim

    A friend from Polish forum advised me that the gates to the port are too short. I used Archistories gates and it is true - they are to short. I decided to do something with this. I used Archistories fence to make my new gates:

    Following your suggestion i painted and weathered sidewalks again to get a contrast. I think this was a very good advice.

    Some small details are very important. I added some drying laundru on the small backyard of living houses. I think there is a potential for nice photo. I think I should add one or two persons on the backyard....

    I also added the name of the harbour area over the gate. Official name was "City reloading station".

    The walkways look good! Nice photos as well. I can't wait to see the streets and rails populated with vehicles!
