Bear Creek (Progess)

Hey guys, I don't have time to go back and find pics from the start of this project but here is a current update from now on I will post with anything new.

As you can see I dont have the one grain bin painted, and the corn crib is to dark I am going to repaint it, also I need to run the piping from the Leg to the bins. But this will give you a bit up progress.

I also started my creek project. I have one side braced the other will get cut off tomarrow and braced. It is about 10 scale feet wide.

Join us for the layout party

 

The structures looks great! Are they from Rix?

 

Looking good Mike! And finally, someone who's layout room looks like mine LOL

 

Is that the walthers elevator? It looks like the one i had, but mine was red, so I had to cover it.

 

Thanks guys, yes all the structures are Walthers. Thanks again, Mike

 

Well I finished the other side of my creek and it is braced up, I am planning on going in to lowes and picking up some window screen to put in it and start plastering.


Here are just a few of my PCM SD7 spoting a hopper at the not finished grain elevator.

Here is the inside of the dump bay of the elevator.

While being a very nice kit from Walthers the only problem was the roof wanted to slide down, So I glued in a couple pieces of strip in the corners easy, quick fix.

Hey guys, I added more to my creek, I shaped the screen as seen, I also started hanging my hardboard.




Tomorrow I get to start putting this on there,

Wow this is oober cool, Layout Party???:tb-biggrin:

 

Hey that is a great looking layout! In fact, I have a little 2x4' layout I built about 10 years ago and some sections look a lot like yours (of course I never got as far as you have with scenery). If I remember I'll post a few pics. In fact, your creek and my creek are in the same corner location! That's the only scene I really finished...I will try to take a pic or two. Looking good! Jamie

 

Well I got my creek all plastered up! Next step is painting it. Here is the plaster job.


For those of you who were curious about what the underside looked like...

Hey guys!, I got my creek bottom all painted and she is ready to take some realistic water. Check it out.




What ya'll think? Mike

 

Looks good to me...those colors should yield a nice looking stream. Jamie

 

Thanks Jamie

 

Well guys I have been so busy I finally started to scenic my creek area. I know the tall grass and banks aren't looking good yet I still have lots of grass to add and some more boulders and rocks, plus the realistic water. But here are a few shots.
