Sunday Scenic Showcase, January 15, 2011

This week was NBW week. The kit had 220 NBW's to be installed. I believe I may have lost three. The rest are installed, could use more. I stained and painted the remainder of trim and detail parts and worked on the tipple bents and slope sheet, rear of the tipple. Then out of the box work, not part of the kit.
About 1/3 of the NBW's, center of this picture, installed on the posts for the two retaining walls. The tipple bents, one, lower picture, also required a lot of NBW's.

Tipple bents and slope sheet.

To build terrain that fits the structure.

There are two retaining walls top and bottom of the terrain, each bent and the long support beams will sit on a concrete foundation.

A good day's work. Some paint work on the concrete piers and then some plaster cloth work. The terrain piece can be removed from the model for this work then re-installed after most detail is finished, hopefully next week.


Some other work that got done this week.


Have a great week everyone. Smile
Mike

Nut, Bolt, Washer castings.

Sorry about that Arthur. Thanks Fred Smile
Pesky little buggers that give you reason for Church on Sunday. The castings are plastic, require a drop of black paint, with a small pin on the back that inserts in a hole. Many of these holes are pre-laser cut as part of the kit, but a lot are not, and require drilling.

Wow, mike! Looking great. I'm almost embarrassed to out my pics of my dinky little hill... But here goes. This was my very first piece of landscaping after the foam was finally down and painted. Also my first time shaping foam and adding ground cover. Came out better than I expected and definitely better than my husband thought it would. Smile

In any case here are the pics... Hopefully I can progress to more detailed work eventually...







And this is a pic of Phil waving from the front of the train...



Happy Sunday everyone!

Nancy

I always spray paint the whole sprue, either flat black or rust color, before I detach them. Saves a lot of time. Smile

Nancy, sorry but I don't see your pics. Confused Just a red X.

I successfully updated the pics in my original post =) Next time I will check the pics are up correctly before I run out the door. Thanks for leaving the light on Vulcan Big Grin

Your building is looking awesome by the way. Is this a coffee stirrer project? How did you do the beat up roof effect?

Patrick, the woodsash company is looking great. I love the stone front of the building. That adds a uniqueness to the structure. The blue light in the interior is a bit spooky though. Is that sand that you are using around the building?

Sirt, as always I love the detailed weather effects you do. It adds so much realism to the models.

Nice Walther's Kit, LMS. I love that kind of storefront. I've been vying to get one for my layout as well but I am torn between getting pre-made one that I can weather or doing a kit. Your piece is swaying me towards the kit =)

Glad you got the pics straightened out, Nancy. They were well worth waiting for. Smile

The decking around the building is coffee stirrers. The rest of the building is pretty much all cardstock. The roof... the exposed boards and shingles are cardstock glued to .040 styrene (with Testors model cement Smile ). The tarpaper is strips of Kleenex glued down with Mod Podge and a couple of dark I/A washes added for color.

Very nice, Steve. DId you make the boxes in the boxcar? I like those. Smile

LMS, the Beggar's Banquet fit quite nicely.
