JUNK IN ALLEY AND FOLIAGE GROWING UP THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING [ 03. February 2004, 05:50: Message edited by: PARKERLEGEND ]
MY FAVORITE AREA BECAUSE MY FIRST MOUNTAIN AND I LIKE THE DETAIL. I NEVER EVEN IMAGINED I COULD DO A JOB LIKE THIS. [ 03. February 2004, 05:53: Message edited by: PARKERLEGEND ]
I HAD TO DO TWO PICS HERE OF THIS TO SHOW THE DETAIL OF THE AREA. I LOVE THIS AREA ALOT. [ 03. February 2004, 06:10: Message edited by: PARKERLEGEND ]
THIS PIC DID NOT COME OUT TO GOOD, BUT YOU CAN SEE THAT CORNY RIVER THE GUY I BOUGHT THIS FROM DID. HOW MUCH MORE FAKE CAN THAT LOOK? A PERFECT S. WHEN I BOUGHT THIS LAYOUT THE TRACK WAS DOWN, TUNNELS THERE, MOUNTAIN CLOSES TO THE CAMERA WAS DETACHED BUT DONE I JUST REATTATCHED IT, AND A LITTLE BIT OF GRASS WAS PUT DOWN AROUND THE RIVER. I DID ALL THE REST [ 03. February 2004, 06:01: Message edited by: PARKERLEGEND ]
THIS IS A REALLY HOT PICTURE, I STILL CANT BELIEVE I DID THAT IN ONE DAY. I LAYED THE CLOTH ONE DAY AND DETAILED THE NEXT DAY. DAMN I SHOULD GO PRO. LOL JUST KIDDING, IM NO WHERE NEAR AS GOOD AS YOU REAL PROS. [ 03. February 2004, 06:06: Message edited by: PARKERLEGEND ]
SINCE THIS PICTURE WAS TAKEN EARLIER TODAY 2-02-04 I FINISHED THE TOP LEFT AREA WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE WHITE PLASTER CLOTH. I ADDED THE DIRT AND MORE FOOLIAGE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE MOUNTAIN. [ 03. February 2004, 06:13: Message edited by: PARKERLEGEND ]
THIS WAS A FEW DAYS AGO AFTER I FINISHED OFF THE MOUNTAIN, IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY AROUND THE AREA OF THE TWO BUILDINGS THAT IS WHERE I JUST REDID TODAY BECAUSE I POURED HYDROCAL IN THAT AREA TO ELAVATE IT, BUT IT CAME OUT BAD WHEN I DID THE ROAD AND ALL, SO I REMOVED ALOT OF THAT AREA AND REDID IT TODAY
Big Al, you did good man! Problem is, if you don't stop to eat and get a little sleep, you wont live long enough to enjoy it! (I know, because my wife says I died several weeks ago but I haven't had time to quit working! I asked her if she was sure? She said well, I smelled like I had died!
WATASH THAT IS SO FUNNY. YOU KNOW WHAT SOME DAYS I DO SPEND LIKE 5 HOURS DOWN IN MY BASEMENT AT ONE TIME COME BACK UP AND GO BACK DOWN AFTER I EAT FOR ANOTHER 3-4 HOURS. I SPENT TWO HOURS LAST NIGHT UPSTAIRS IN FRONT OF THE TUBE MAKING 10 TREES THEN I WENT DOWN TO THE BASEMENT AT 3AM AND STAYED DOWN THERE TILL 5AM THIS MORNING. THE REASON I HAVE HAD SO MUCH TIME TO DO WORK WHEN I FEEL IS BECAUSE I AM ON VACATION BUT UNFORTUNATELY I GO BACK TO WORK TOMORROW! AWW WELL LETS SEE WHAT IS TO DO TODAY. LAST NIGHT I PUT THE YELLOW LINES DOWN ON THE ROAD, BALLAST ON THE SIDE OF THE TRACK AND LIGHTLY ON THE TRACK. I ADDED TEN TREES, AND I ALSO ADDED SOME PEOPLE TO THE LAYOUT
Looks good from here. As long as you take a little time for personal maintenance and downtime, you won't burn out.
Big Al, you just gotta take some time to do the surgery on that one engine that wont go around an 18" curve! I have an idea! If that Big Mac DD44X 8 axel thingy wont go around your curves, all you have to do is, mail it to me and I'll run it on my layout, then tell you how great it looks! That would be a big thrill for you! See? (I'll look for it in the mail!) [ 03. February 2004, 22:42: Message edited by: watash ]
Hold on now for just one minute. Watash, since I'm a bit further north than you on the Texas map, it's only proper that the big DD44X make a stop on my layout first. I'll send it down your way when I'm done with it....but you'll just need to wait your turn.
No if it will not be able to make it on my layout I will just have to make a special ugly oval track in my livingroom to watch it run. LOL What I really have planned is I am going to either make the layout grow in a wek or two, make a cool layout from scratch, or buy this layout in my town that I have heard looks real good and is much bigger than mine. If I do that then I will either sll my layout or I will make them come together as one. What do you fine young men think?
