The Mogollon Railroad

Thanks GEC. This is definitely one of those projects that looks better in person, and also one of those projects where spending more time on the particulars could have made things look even better. I could have varied the sand content and had coarser and finer sedimentary beds. But, I got a little lazy and thought this method was good enough.

Enjoyable geography lesson, innovative techniques, and believeable-looking results.

Nothing wrong with your methods. It looks great!

While this past sumer was mostly filled with other projects and activities, I have gotten a little modeling done. It's the old pickle factory, kitbashed into a power plant for a mining complex. I still need to add the finishing details and glue on a big smokestack.

Good looking complex!

And now with the main smokestack added:

The building looks very realistic. The rusty weathering is a high light!

Beautifully done!

WoW...!!! Great looking industry....

Now I know what can be done with that kit I have laying around....

[doctorwayne]

That's a good-looking make-over, Kevin, and a practical and believable structure to use on your layout.

Thanks for the compliments, guys. That pickle factory is truly great for bashing into all sorts of industrial buildings.

Thanks for the kind words. I need to update this thread! I've got many projects going on right now, and my layout should look quite different in a few months.

Kevin, the pickle factory is fantastic. A building with lots of character for sure.
