All kinds of ideas to see. I like that motel. Reminds me of places where we'd stayed back in the 50's and 60's.
Thanks Mike & E50 , I have shuffled locations as well as buildings around until I like it! That is the fun part , isn't it????
I have nearly finished the Fifer Home on the ACTRR. I gotthe fencing in and the catle underpass to the backdrop as well as some newtrees. I still need a garden and a cowboy or two with the cattle. Mike
"You and Robin" look comfortable out there on the porch! Are you really a wannabe rancher stuck living in the city?
No, really do not want to be a rancher but here in Las Cruces is the first time we have lived in the city. Thanks Rick , Mike
Mike, The N Scale Fifers have nice taste in cars! Do you have anything like that sitting in your driveway?
Well i have been doing some detail work and here it is. Bee keepers and gardens added to the Fifer Home. I finally found the BIG ARROW from when the tourist trap was on the previous layout. Added details to Brownies Service Station. I also finally got the crossing done and the yard tower as well as some out buildings and working on the fuel facillity. Mike
Today I finally got the billboards together for thetourist trap. I made them in Photoshop then printed them on regular paper atthe correct size. Then I sprayed both sides of the paper with Testors decalspray (I think it is just clear lacquer). Then I cut them out and sprayed theback with 3M 77 spray adhesive. I then stuck them to some thin styrene. Then Icut them out with scissors and applied the u channel to the backs and paintedthem by hand. I then went out and mounted them on the layout. I think the effect is quite good. Mike
I have completed 3 structures for the ACTRR. The first two are Downtown Deco Addams Ave 1 and 2 but one was narrowed front to back in half and the other was cut to angled to fit across from the Bus Depot. The Third is the existing Bowling alley (Robins Lakeside Lanes) with the inside milled out to accept the Miller Engineering sign. Now to get them out on the layout permanently. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRJke4HHXW0 Mike
