I have nearly finished the Fifer Home on the ACTRR. I got the fencing in and the catle underpass to the backdrop as well as some new trees. I still need a garden and a cowboy or two with the cattle.

The rocky slope of the little hill and the front of the house with the cars are my favorite

I finally found the BIG ARROW from when the tourist trap was on the previous layout.



Added details to Brownies Service Station.

Today I finally got the billboards together for the tourist trap. I made them in Photoshop then printed them on regular paper at the correct size. Then I sprayed both sides of the paper with Testors decal spray (I think it is just clear lacquer). Then I cut them out and sprayed the back with 3M 77 spray adhesive. I then stuck them to some thin styrene. Then I cut them out with scissors and applied the u channel to the backs and painted them by hand.
I then went out and mounted them on the layout.
I think the effect is quite good.
