Round Robins are fun for the most part.The one I was in died an early death.because some of the guys thought we should only work on their stuff.But it was fun while it lasted. :mrgreen:

This is the start of store building #5.After all my careful measuring I had to shorten one side because the building would not allow the first building to set completely on the base.

There are five houses and one 7-11 store that are from kits everything else is scratchbuilt.

That's an unusual shape, should be a real eye catcher when it's finished!

Some more pics of #5 including where it fits in the scheme of things.

Almost ready for paint.



Over view of building location.



Street level view of building location.

That is looking very good. The best of all are the correct proportions of the buildings. You got the space in 1:220 scale to make the buildings with the correct depth. It is rare in larger scales not to cut the buildings a few inch behind the front an push it to the backdrop.

Some colour,





One more store to build,and paint then it is sign time.With a little luck this phase will be done by next Saturday.

and now we move on to #6 first a front view,



then a end view



and now it is location location location



May have this project done by saturday.

As I said over at RR-L it's an odd shape but it works well when in place with the other buildings.

This pic may help explain why #6 is the shape it is.Plans are for more stores and a new gas station (kit is not available yet)and a small creek ala Tyson. :mrgreen: ]



The layout will be altered to some extent 3 more times this year.Eventually I will run of of things to make or modify and I will start a new larger layout.

Looking forward to the creek!

good work, Catt

The building's shape adds so much visual interest!

Newest pic.



Next pucs will be taken at the show Saturday when the layout will be in full dress. :mrgreen:

Will finish up some details tomorrow ,then will be back on the N scale layout Sunday.

You probaly have noticed there are no signs on the stores.My sign making software has decidred the only colour it likes is brass .Yuck!!!!
