Hi Dave,
Great to see the progress with your layout, I was beginning to think you weren't gonna make TVNAM!
I like the pics too!
regards,
Mal

Hi Dave
How's the layout coming along?
Any progress pictures?
I'm aware that you're trying to meet a deadline so apologies for any rude interruption of proceedings
Best wishes,
Jonte

Sorry guys, I've been a little sidetracked by another forum in the UK, who've put together a new US and Canadian forum group.
I've been making steady progress so I thought I'd share where I'm upto.
Pallet store and Northwestern meats overview
Vehicles awaiting loading at the team track

New Ford Thunderbird parked up.
Fencing and boxes have all been built thanks to the generous articles from you guys on here.
Well I hope you like and can see huge improvements not just in the modelling but my camera work too, reading the manual can be a good idea!

Dave,
The layout looks really good. I like what you have done with the fencing and general clutter that seems to be part of the greater Miami warehouse district.

This is coming together nicely, looking really good. Are you planning on weathering everything? Rusting the fences, dirtying things up a bit?

Thanks Gary,
Yes thats the next step, the photos are quite bright and don't show everything, the ground surface inside the fence area has been weathered, the road needs to be weathered, but most things haven't been varnished yet, which doesn't help the general blending of colours.
