Backdrop, painting and buildings



Hey everyone,

Last update was 3 weeks ago, therefore I was due for another.

My brother came over to help me install masonite for my backdrop and we manage to install about 24 feet. I was curious to see how the backdrop I had ordered would fit. It included the sand industry, the cement factory and the refinery. Personally, there's something that doesn't look right, the backdrop looks a bit cartoonish, looks like a drawing. The reason is that the resolution is very low, the trees seems a bit blurry. For now I'll keep it like it is, but might change it when comparing with others to be done.




I finally got around to using my airbrush for the very first time. I did practice a bit on spare tracks before attacking the layout. Now I have 10 feet of main line done and it turn out to my satisfaction.


I've also been working on putting stuff and people in buildings. The little office is the control center for the cement loading plant which is furnished with a desk, filing cabinets and a figure sitting on a chair. The other two are from the machine shop viewed from the outside  and inside before installing the last wall and the roof. I still have to add an arc welding light with and Arduino before doing so.




Lastly, I started work on my brewery, got one of the many walls cut. This is the wall to the loading dock.


That's it for now, see you later.
