I know its going to look great once you work your magic on it. The lighting is awesome! Mark Country: USA | Posts: 13752 mabloodhound Fireman Posted - 03/15/2016 :  12:11:53 PM     Very nice Dave. Verne would be proud. Country: USA | Posts: 6703 Arizona Dave Fireman Premium Member Posted - 03/15/2016 :  6:38:47 PM       Today's project was adding lights to the Mercantile. Once again I'm using 3mm yellow LEDs for the interior lighting and flickering LEDs on some exterior lights. I've found through experience that a little flicker goes a long way. On this structure, there were a few "light leaks" around the roof to fix and glazing to add in the windows. I also added a new wooden porch and sign board, changing the name from "Burro Creek" to "Thunder Mesa Mercantile." I hope Verne doesn't mind. I'm thinking that new front porch needs a few props and details too. I should note that the fancy porch lamp is original, Verne just never got around to wiring it up.

Can't wait to see it all come together.

He will be driving a wagon load of Vanadium ore to the railhead. Maybe I could send him south with a load of ore for you.

David Meek Country: USA | Posts: 1101 Bill Uffelman Fireman Posted - 03/16/2016 :  09:27:31 AM     Tried to respond earlier. Thought it was a load of Impossibilium! Country: USA | Posts: 1105 Bill Uffelman Fireman Posted - 03/16/2016 :  09:43:37 AM     My earlier comment was that Verne should be on the porch BSing with customers -- stupid auto correct on my phone! Country: USA | Posts: 1105 Arizona Dave Fireman Premium Member Posted - 03/16/2016 :  9:03:06 PM       I had a little time today and built this retaining wall behind the depot in Thunder Mesa town. It's a mix of Woodland Scenics castings and scratchbuilt cribbing. David Meek Country: USA | Posts: 1101 Ray Dunakin Fireman Posted - 03/16/2016 :  10:44:51 PM       Very nice work, Dave. Country: USA | Posts: 3318 rca2 Engine Wiper Posted - 03/16/2016 :  11:13:19 PM     Very inspiring, Dave. A perfect setting for your station. The scene is begging for a sleeping dog! Bob.

It looks Evolved rather than developed. It's only make-believe Country: USA | Posts: 5678 MarkF Engineer Premium Member Posted - 03/17/2016 :  01:57:20 AM     Wow Dave, that area is coming together nicely. Your lighting is terrific! Mark Country: USA | Posts: 13752 Arizona Dave Fireman Premium Member Posted - 03/19/2016 :  12:39:32 PM       This weekend I'm working on the rockwork behind Thunder Mesa town. I really need to get this finished before I do any more work on the town's structures. The pink EPF foam has been carved and sculpted and next comes the scenic base coat of paint. Stay tuned. More to come.
