My god Reinhard, the speed at which you continue to build and change and build again and change is 'scary' :-) I barely came to enjoy your rural grain elevators (nice models they were too), and now we're back in urban areas already again :-)
In the time you did that, I managed to lay 3 pieces of flex and a turnout on a new board project...

Got the box closed (roof is in place).

Vandals broke some window glasses that got temporary repaired with plywood.
I am not sure if more weathering would be better or if this level of weathering is just fine. Anyhow the building at the right hand needs to be reworked too. And finally both must be integrated into the ground cover (spray lots of water, get the mud of the layout, level the swelled cork, place the buildings and add new ground cover. All that bend over the layout in the very rear left corner :cry: )

May be I should open a new thread. The title with "MAW" becomes obsolete and 22 pages are a lot to maintain. How about Freelance 2013-3 to cover the new urban development.
Koos, don't worry. I am sure I can invest more time into my hobby than you. A home office is sometimes very "handy"

Hi Reinhard, I guess with that new title it will mean it will change again in 2014 , for a Freelance 2014 thread? :-)
As for a home office, yes that IS very handy. Having said that, I'm typing this from my work place too, having an office job for 80% of the time means I can open up a window in a browser and check on a few forums etc from time to to time, but Modeling is limited to a few hourse on some evenings here and there.
