Rainbows in the Lehigh Valley Gorge

[TMo]

Thanks!  I always wonder if I'm providing too many photos, but I'm glad it's at least educational.  As I've relayed on many occasions, these kits are tailor made for kitbashing and are very adaptable.  They are cardstock, so there are imperfections in folds, cuts and gaps, but I think because of the built in weathering that's incorporated, these kits in some cases look every bit as good as a plastic or lasercut kit (well, at least that I'd build anyway). 

Finished up the basis of Building B (it's on the right side of the photo below) last night while watching my Phillies pull out game 2 of their series with the Mets.  Building B was a little smaller in footprint and could be integrated into portions of building A (on the left), but these are going to be separate for the brewery.  I'm still thinking about some grain and water storage for the brewery, and I may have some leftovers from some old plastic kits that would suffice.

   

I'm planning on a large "Pilsner" billboard on the top of the 2nd story of either building A or B along with some additional signage on the building, I hope to build that stuff in the next couple of weeks.  

I still haven't managed to stop by Home Depot and pick up some 3/4' styrofoam panels to cut up and lay out my terrain, roads and place buildings, but that's next on the list for my section of Hazleton, since I think I have enough structures built.  I've found that it's fairly easy to play around with the styrofoam "levels", cutting and stacking under the structures until you achieve a "look" that you like, and it then provides a decently level surface to serve as a base for each building. A little foam glue secures the stacks together, and then you can work on final contours with the addition of plaster cloth and sculptamold.  That's the technique I employed for the back section of White Haven and that worked really well there, so why mess with something that works.  My hope is that I'll have pictures coming in the next few weeks.
