I had another look over the Hinkle Mill kit this evening and I cannot progress it until the components have been spray painted, which is my plan for tomorrow before work.
As such I've done a little bit of scratchbuilding and kit building this evening, spent an hour finishing off a couple of partially completed shop kits that I got second hand from a trade stall. They were missing parts but were cheap and easily fixed.
Also in that time I spotted a small storage shed on google Streetview when looking at the streetrunning in Gretna LA for inspiration, so knocked together a sub frame for that - it just needs texture papers/styrene over the top to finish it off. As does the house I built from one of Gary60's plans - tonight I fitted a roof to it ready for the top layer to go over it.
Here's a quick photo taken to show my progress. These buildings will go on the streetrunning section of the expanded layout. 4 down, about 20 to go!
