Right Andrew, that is the only known photo.

Well, day one of the show is over.

When I first arrived I was informed that the first clinic was to be on scenery and the fellow doing it was not coming.
I was asked if I could give a clinic on scenery. So I quickly put something together called "Scenery On A Budget". Apparently I did good. ;D

Then I sat down and started to build. Here is the results.
Picture one: just before lunch.



These two are how it looked ay days end, between chatting with people.





Now to see how far I can get tomorrow.

WoW....You got all that done in a few hours..?? That's about a week's worth of work for me....

Let's see what today brings....

[Will_Annand]

Gus, there are two factors in my favour here.

1. I stained the kit earlier in the week, so I was ready to build.

2. It is an RSLaser KIt, designed by an architect, it goes together like a dream.

Here is today's results, all the doors, windows and roof supports are on. Seems I spent more time talking today

Here it is on the layout where it will ultimately reside.

The Bottling Works looks like a great addition to the layout (which is coming along very nicely)!

[Will_Annand]

Thanks Josh.

The bottling works is being kitbashed from two RSLaser Cheltenham Stations.

Time for an Update.

I have put the Bottle Works on hold temporarily. I have been busy on the layout itsef.
I have an impromptu open house this weekend. Been working on fixing the "ugly" sections.

The grounds keepers were in yesterday, Mr. Forest Ranger came around today.
Tomorrow the track crew will hopefully install some track end bumpers.

Uncle Henry was able to get the billboard up and ready for the VIPs.

Sunday Night.

Well, ended up with three out of five buddies coming in to see the layout.

Things looked great.


I have updated the CVR website with a new four part comparison.
