My 2019 promise to myself was to build structures for my layout which had nothing but a yard tower for the first two years of its existence. So I managed to build 6. Pretty happy with that result given it was an incredibly busy year from a business and family perspective.

Nice! I particularly like the church and its setting.

I really like the roads. could you describe how you did the color?
Chuck, your work is terrific. The water tower is excellent and I really like your mobile home.
Wow- those are some absolutely fantastic "s"tructures. I have a very similar MTH blue house but it lacks a realistic quality that all of your pieces have. I, too, like the Church setting and roads as well, also, your sign placement is on point! I feel that the area behind the construction barrels is yearning for 5-6 construction works, 2 public works type vehicles, a construction vehicle or 2 and some rocks/gravel or something of the sort- depending on your plans for that section. Regardless, once again great work- do you plan to keep buildingg in 2020?
They look fantastic. Great progress.

Since I was a total novice, I took the easy route of using Woodland Scenics products. I used their road system and concrete top coat, but later I went back and brushed on light gray weathering powder.

That's a good idea. I would like to add a construction scene. Yes, I plan to keep building. I have 3 more structure kits in the closet, plus a gondola kit and a boxcar kit in the que.
