Reply to "What did you do on your layout today?"

Hey guys, I shot a bunch of before and afters for "show and tell" this weekend at the Modelers Retreat. There are 40 pairs in the slide show, here are a few of the most dramatic. Before was done for last year's retreat, 13 moths ago.

Here are the latest of the bluff. I worked on it all day yesterday. I ran out of already made trees from enterTRAINment, and finally found my buckets of material.

I had a huge box of already shaped Woodland Scenics armatures. I just slather contact cement on the branches, and dip them in the bucket.

Nothing like having individual trees to make a big impression. I figure there are over 100, I didn't count.

As I approached the carved section, I started using clump foliage instead of trees, hot gluing it in place.

I got that seam to almost disappear.

Still have some work to do.

Should wrap up this project Thursday, then I can start on the ground. I just picked up my last construction vehicle at the post office this morning. It was tough finding this one with the fork attachment. Got it on the bay, from a guy in the Netherlands.
