Just a few photos showing my latest work. Couple of areas have been updated. I have finished constructing the backscene, although painting is still WIP.
I have also been practising my road building skills. This is an aspect of scenery building that I surprisingly found a lot of fun, following the techniques laid out by Lance Mindheim and Mike COugill. I have built a tarmacked area (a parking lot for the warehouse at the rear of the layout), and I am in the process of building a larger concrete area which will eventually become a storage area for steel. Obviously, both of these areas need to be completed and fully scenicked.
I am going to buy some plaster of paris soon to try making road surfaces from this, as a few people have said that this method makes the creation of a cracked and weathered surface more realistic.
