Viperman's HO layout progress - viperman - 03-02-2009
Hi everyone! Long time no see! Rather than copy/paste the entire thread from Zealot, I'll just put a link to that thread I made for progress made on my layout, and any new updates will go here.
The Zealot thread:
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.zealot.com/forum/showthread.php?t=112267">http://www.zealot.com/forum/showthread.php?t=112267</a><!-- m -->
The new stuff:
I have made a little progress, but nothing much. No new pics since I last posted, unfortunately. I have gotten a little work done on carving out the river/lake but still have a bit to go with that.
I was at a show yesterday, which I posted on Zealot since I didn't know about this forum yet, and bought a bridge. Musket Miniatures cast resin wood plank bridge with pewter railings, 2" wide by 4"long. With this bridge, I've decided that rather than having a tunnel in the back corner, I'll use a rock cut with this bridge for the trucks.
Unfortunately, thats about it. Hopefully I'll be able to post new updates before too long

Yes, the layout is still nearly an hour drive from me, at my parents' house. Hopefully I can get some work done on it, I'm starting to get that drive again where I want to work on it

Heloo Viperman! Glad to hear you are still out there and still modeling (if even only occasionally and at a distance!)
Looking forward to progress photos!

Nice to see everyone looking for some updates. Now I really do need to get something done this weekend
Re: Viperman's HO layout progress - viperman - 03-16-2009
Ok, so I never went out to my parents last weekend, but I did yesterday. While there yesterday, I did put in some time on the layout.
I started to add in foam to what I decided will be a rock cut instead of a tunnel, to help get the shape of the curve, and also to make it a little bit narrower so the bridge I bought will fit across the gap. Thats really about all I did. I took a couple pictures of that, and also a couple to show how I've been carving out the lake and river.
First up, the rock cut:

And now a couple of the lake and river:

Looking good Steven!! That rock face looks like it will be pretty neat when you get some plaster on it
Re: Viperman's HO layout progress - viperman - 03-16-2009
Thanks Josh! I don't really know what the rack faces will look like quite yet, but I do have a vision in my mind that's starting to pull together in that corner
