After the realization of the ON30 LUCKY LUKE layout and OSIRIS layout, I was frustrated to not have done an on30 mexican style layout. I was amazed by the beautiful village of San Lorenzo done by Verne NINER that I discovered in 2014. I'm also very impressed by the 0n30 mexican style of PUERTO BORRACHO and few others. I want to have mine also in a derelict style, mexican with adobe style building, mexican revolutionary period. Because it's an harbour, I will have a steamer ferry.
Because I made it for exhibition, I will use the same design in term of size as LUCKY LUKE.

Nice choice, I saw Vern's N scale desert layout when I was first getting into the hobby. He changed scale after that and has since passed away. It looks like you have an excellent start on a fun project. Can't wait to see your progress.

This is the link to the San Lorenzo layout realized by Verne NINER that inspired me and which had been on my mind since its publication in 2014. I will try to do my layout with this mood.

I want to rename my layout with a famous revolutionary name. I make a survey : which is for you the most famous one or just note the first name ? Don't search on google.

What material are you using for your buildings, Franck? I really like the church!

I made with extruded polystyrene, depron and cardboard.
My church is inspired by the Mission San Diego de Alcalá

I like the texture you've gotten, and as always, the details.
