I was out shopping today and I see frozen turkey's in the stores in abundance. Good grief, it's only one month until Thanksgiving, and just two months to Xmas! The Holidays will be here before you know it. After Christmas 2020 I removed my Lemax carousel, Xmas toy store, and Nutcracker Suite from my layout to install the barn and farm, "We Take Your Steak" alien spacecraft, Ethyl's gas station and Molly's Dinner, I have no where to put them on my layout now. Fortunately there is a space on the left end of the layout for the Lemax structures, but it has to be temporary as the space is part of the house. Normally there are plants in this spot, so I moved them to a different location for now. He's some photos of just getting started. I have a lot of diorama to do around the Lemax structures.
I cut a piece of 3/8 plywood to fit. The plywood will not be permanently attached, and I left about an inch behind the plywood and the wall to run power cables.
I used the vinyl grass to cover the plywood because I really wasn't in the mood to paint it. At least I won't have to use ground cover! I'll have to find another home for the book store.
I put some bushes on top of the stone wall and placed the Lemax stuff approximately where they will go. I have some cobblestone mat that I will put on the front edge as a walkway. I'll add some trees, bushes and assorted plants to spruce it up. I need a snowy mountain background for it too, but haven't found what I looking for yet.
More to come.
