Hi,



I made some progress.



I assembled and painted the gun for the fortress and the rail car.

 

I paint the cactus.



I paint also the cross for the cemetery in order to recreate the scene from the good, the bad and the ugly.



For the market, I done the two iconic vegetables (lime with mustard seed and pepper with dill seed).

Frank, 

     Your work is great only surpassed by your great ideas. The fruit and vegetables are going to be a great addition and someday I might try this for the farm scene on the Wilderson.

Hi,

Thank you for the positive reply.

I spend more times on my layout. After painting the tracks, I glue the buildings, rocks and but not the Cactus.



I have to modify the color of one kind of cactus.



What do you thing about the 2 saguaro cactus ? Are they too big compared to the rest of the scene ? In reality we can encountered saguaro twice as big.



In the future I will cover the layout with red sand and the tombs with red stone.

Hello Frank

       Your cactus are perfect in size and the whole scene is in great proportion.  Next step please.

Boy, that looks like my front yard, all except the crosses. That must have been one hellova gun fight.

Superb detailing and as usual,  with a very light and fun twist.

Hi,

Thank you for the positive posts.

I wish you an happy new year with plenty trains.

I was very busy until now,  so I do little progress on sound. I will have a general sound (wooden speaker) unit for sound of pistols, Mexican music, ...  and I have 3 separate sound modules under the layout  with sounds on demand with a push button for the visitors in exhibition for the church (from Mexican and Californian churches), for the water tower (with real sound) and for the cemetery with the iconic replicas of the good , the bad and the ugly.
