Round Robins are fun for the most part.The one I was in died an early death.because some of the guys thought we should only work on their stuff.But it was fun while it lasted. :mrgreen:

This is the start of store building #5.After all my careful measuring I had to shorten one side because the building would not allow the first building to set completely on the base.
There are five houses and one 7-11 store that are from kits everything else is scratchbuilt.

That's an unusual shape, should be a real eye catcher when it's finished!
Re: My Z scale layout from start to - Catt - 04-06-2012
Some more pics of #5 including where it fits in the scheme of things.
Almost ready for paint.

That is looking very good. The best of all are the correct proportions of the buildings. You got the space in 1:220 scale to make the buildings with the correct depth. It is rare in larger scales not to cut the buildings a few inch behind the front an push it to the backdrop.

As I said over at RR-L it's an odd shape but it works well when in place with the other buildings.
Re: My Z scale layout from start to - Catt - 04-13-2012
This pic may help explain why #6 is the shape it is.Plans are for more stores and a new gas station (kit is not available yet)and a small creek ala Tyson. :mrgreen: ]

The layout will be altered to some extent 3 more times this year.Eventually I will run of of things to make or modify and I will start a new larger layout.
Re: My Z scale layout from start to - Tyson Rayles - 04-13-2012
Looking forward to the creek!
