Steamtrains 2009 Resolution Challenge

[Steamtrains]

Update......I haven't been sitting on my hands all this time.... It's just that I'm a little slow getting my act together....

Here goes....Time to get plastered....

I started by bridging the "gully" between the track on the grade and the mainline at the back, next to the wall. I used a couple of large pieces of corrugated cardboard for this....




Then I covered it with plaster cloth...




Followed by a couple of coats of plaster with some foam "rocks" embedded in the plaster and covered with same. I painted all the tracks in this area (used my spray gun for this....went fairly quickly...) and began putting on the first of many coats of "wash" (very diluted paint).





And this is where it stands today....






And this little gem will house the wire factory....





Well..d,d,d,dat's all folks....!!

I still have to work on the "industrial" area, but have not decided what other structure will provide support to the main plant. Once I find it, I'll go ahead and finish this area off, and move on to the engine house (scratchbuilt roundhouse) area, and a bit of the yard at Santa Rosa.
