UP SD40-2's 2021 Do Something Challenge

[UP SD40-2]

Well, time had really gotten away from me on this challenge, four things I DID NOT get done on this I feel really killed me.

1- did NOT get the wig wags done, EPIC FAIL 
2- did NOT finish the Famous Daves sign on the diner
3- did NOT put the "R"s down on the crossing signs on the street
4- did NOT paint the turnout rails going into United Transfer

In my mind I failed the challenge for those reasons. I did however pull a couple personal "wins" out of this challenge though:
1- I got off my duff and worked on pretty much the whole back area of the layout, making it more pleasing to the eye and better for taking pics in this area.
2- I learned how to do static grass, each time I did it I learned from mistakes I had made. 
3- this challenge helped to get me thinking about how I would redo/makeover the rest of the layout.   

Though I did not accomplish all I hoped to in this Challenge, it was fun, and a great learning experience for me, WELL WORTH DOING!

FINAL PICS/END RESULTS...


















Thank you so much for viewing my Challenge, and I give a HUGE APPLAUSE to ALL THOSE that did this Challenge  , WELL DONE!
