Mike Country: USA | Posts: 12615 Orionvp17 Fireman Premium Member Posted - 08/18/2015 :  09:50:27 AM     Nice! Suddenly I'm craving fried clams.... Pete in Michigan Country: USA | Posts: 5784 jbvb Fireman Premium Member Posted - 08/18/2015 :  11:32:42 AM       Thanks, Mike & Pete. Pete, I've never spent much time in Oregon, I wonder if they understand how to fry out there? I guess we'll find out. And no more layout progress till I'm back.

James, if you're headed for Portland, let's try to find out. Or maybe not. I'm hearing horror stories about bio hazards related to El Niņo that have messed with fisheries up and down the west coast. Stay tuned! Pete in Michigan Country: USA | Posts: 5784 jbvb Fireman Premium Member Posted - 09/30/2015 :  11:14:47 PM       Alas, I didn't encounter fried clams anywhere I went between Portland and Phoenix. And I've been so happy to be eating my own home cooking that I haven't gone out for them since I got back. Maybe next week. I've finished a project for the Hub Division and now it's back to scenery work: I got this 'Ornate Picket Fence' from Monroe Models' booth at the National Train Show. Tomorrow the glue will be dry enough to paint. Once it's installed Mrs. Rice's garden will be (mostly) safe from the chickens. Beans and Rhubarb are from Noch, young fruit trees (right) are from JTT.

Country: Canada | Posts: 2360 Orionvp17 Fireman Premium Member Posted - 10/01/2015 :  12:39:48 AM     Very nicely done, James! "After" pictures, please! I picked up the fences as well, and need to see how they really look when done! Please chomp a clam or two for me while you're at it.... Pete in Michigan Country: USA | Posts: 5784 jbvb Fireman Premium Member Posted - 10/13/2015 :  7:21:04 PM       The Scenery AP evaluators will be looking for appropriate signage. So in between picking chestnuts and making applesauce and firewood, I've been trying out new aspects of GIMP on bits of images I found on the net: I'll eventually need an 'Entering Newbury' sign, but good images are lacking; I'll just take a quick shot when I go pick this one up from the copy shop (long lasting ink on semi-gloss paper, which my home printer doesn't have). .xcf or PDF format available on request. Country: USA | Posts: 5446 Orionvp17 Fireman Premium Member Posted - 10/13/2015 :  7:27:48 PM     Lookin' Good! Pete in Michigan Country: USA | Posts: 5784 jbvb Fireman Premium Member Posted - 10/21/2015 :  08:59:29 AM       Still applying details: I like the way these signs look. But I expect to be asked about license plates, so they'll be on the next sheet I send to the print shop. I'm not so happy with this view; commercial picket fence doesn't work well on slopes. But the issues are less clear when viewed from above, so it can stay for now. Tip: the Monroe fenceposts are rectangular, so I drilled 3/32" and punched the holes to fit with the tail of a 4" file. Country: USA | Posts: 5446 jbvb Fireman Premium Member Posted - 10/27/2015 :  11:06:28 PM       I built the Massachusetts town boundary sign and installed it tonight: Then I spent a while installing New Hampshire Red chickens and cows but it's late and I'm not satisfied with my paint job on Sweetie the Jersey. More as it happens. Country: USA | Posts: 5446 Orionvp17 Fireman Premium Member Posted - 10/28/2015 :  10:40:32 AM     Looks good, James. Be sure to mention the attention to detail when the evaluators show up. To most people a chicken is a chicken and a cow is a cow; they have no idea what a guernsey or a jersey looks like as opposed to a holstein, for instance. That kind of attention to detail is worth extra points. Pete in Michigan Country: USA | Posts: 5784 MarkF Engineer Premium Member Posted - 10/28/2015 :  12:00:04 PM     James, I love the details! They all add so much to the overall scenes. Great stuff. Mark Country: USA | Posts: 13674 deemery Fireman Premium Member Posted - 10/28/2015 :  2:49:06 PM     The Mass 'town' signs are a great addition, they really set the locale (and era.) dave Modeling 1890s (because the voices in my head told me to) Country: USA | Posts: 6729 wvrr Fireman Posted - 10/28/2015 :  3:14:26 PM       I really like the last photo you posted, James. The cable guard rails and the shape of the town sign really caught my eye.
