Oops, just noticed the sign.

I also found this casting I had forgotten I had, so I did some excavating.

It's an HO Gondola load but I'll eventually add other junk to hide the more obvious tell-tale signs of it's origin.

Carl, the fence is just vinyl window screen painted aluminum and cut diagonally. The posts are wood dowels that I carved the pointy things at the top in with a needle file or two.
Thanks, Frank and Mike !! |

Posted - 12/04/2019 : 10:05:11 PM That’s a most realistic fence. And the building is well planted. Very nice all around.

Thanks. |

Posted - 12/04/2019 : 1:56:47 PM Ya, what Bill said. I like they way the building looks like it's sitting in the ground not on it.

Posted - 12/04/2019 : 11:23:10 AM The basic ground cover is down, I don't think there will be much grass. And I've added fencing. I originally thought I would go around all three sides with the chain link but rather than shortening up the yard that much I thought I'd leave to the imagination that the yard extends much further into the foreground.

Obviously I still need to come up with a gate.

And I've been working on gathering more "salvage".


That's not necessarily it's final placement, it was just posing for the photoshoot.  |

Posted - 12/03/2019 : 7:47:43 PM That is very clever Fred'.. I like using the cork for roads also since you informed me about it. I'll have to try this method out, as I really like the look.... Thanks Fred'.. |

Ted, the driveways are made from some really thin sheet cork with a self-adhesive backing, that I bought by accident a while back. It was thinner than I thought. But it works great for this. What I do is cut it to the dimensions I want. Then paint it and weather it before applying it to the scene. When I'm ready to do that I tear it into pieces and then fit them back together, sort of like puzzle pieces.  |
