These corners allow us to change the direction a half turn providing a different viewing experience. Scott Country: USA | Posts: 440 CieloVistaRy Fireman Posted - 10/30/2011 :  3:48:28 PM       Scott, A great job with the shed, especially the corrugated roofing- using acrylic paint there is a great idea.. my thought is that while the paint is drying you could dust on some bragdon's powder and it would stick and the effect would be quite convincing. Arthur Arthur Cielo Vista Railway (on30) Country: USA | Posts: 4447 Ray Dunakin Crew Chief Posted - 10/31/2011 :  01:55:18 AM       Great scene! I especially like the trading post. However, I have to wonder how the neighbors across the street feel about living in such a seedy area! :) Visit www.raydunakin.com to see pics of the rugged and rocky In-ko-pah Railroad!

Are the doors and windows scratched? Keith Miller Country: Malaysia | Posts: 133 scott robertson Engine Wiper Posted - 10/31/2011 :  2:26:47 PM       Keith: Thanks for the feedback. The doors on the trading post are Grant Line. All of the other doors are scratch from card stock (I ran out of Grant Line doors). The windows are all Grant Line. Scott Country: USA | Posts: 440 scott robertson Engine Wiper Posted - 11/02/2011 :  11:54:57 PM       I've taken to "Changing" (Always) some of my older buildings that I constructed entirely with paper textures - just because. The first photo is the original construction, the second, after I covered it in balsa strips and painted. I also did a little accenting on the roofing. The third photo is another rebuild (sorry no before picture) using the same approach. The original "texture" door was used to show the difference in the techniques. These were evening projects and very satisfying to build. I show these in an effort to encourage anyone waffling about constructing a building for the first time to just jump in and do it! Simple structures like this can always be used, are easy to build, and inexpensive to practice techniques on. Time to get your build on fence sitters! Scott Country: USA | Posts: 440 kirk Fireman Posted - 11/03/2011 :  01:52:50 AM     I like the improvements! And I'm fond of this kind of unsignificant structures which often give a natural look to a scene and let you focus on the details surrounding them.

Keith Miller Country: Malaysia | Posts: 133 milocomarty Fireman Posted - 11/03/2011 :  04:17:55 AM       Nice improvement Scott. Good colors to, see you're also a good student Grtz Martin.. http://cardiganbaycoastalrailroad.wordpress.com/ Country: Netherlands | Posts: 4927 railman28 Fireman Posted - 11/03/2011 :  04:45:37 AM     The strucures look a lot deeper to me Scott. These little buildings should livin up any scene you use them in.

Country: South Africa | Posts: 2215 scott robertson Engine Wiper Posted - 11/05/2011 :  6:21:51 PM       I am so impressed with Duane Ericson's Sonoran Desert scenery I decided to try my hand at making some Saguaro Cacti. I used some sculpty clay that you can bake in the oven. I first rolled the big trunks in my hand then each arm. I used a razor saw to create some ribs. Once baked (about 15-minutes at 275 F) I glued on the arms and used acrylic paints to greenem up. Not sure how I will use them, perhaps on our last corner module making a little mesa type scene, or if not then some small diorama. Either way they were simple and fun to make. Sorry about the dull photos, it is a cold and dreary day here in Northern California.

The Cacti also turned out very nice.
