Helping a friend build his layout.

Two small buildings with an outdoor light retrofitted.

More scenery work.
Different colors to bring out the rock formations.
Base color, then a black wash making sure to get it into all the crevasses.
Once this is properly dry, dry brushing white over the edges of the rocks.
Note the beginnings of a town scene, placing a few buildings and discussing
possibilities.

Hi all,

the corner at the back also got some attention. A little hill,
molded a foot path into the Crete stone.
This I then covered with a sand/fine stone mixture before applying the static grass.

Then I started to ballast the track.
First section. Long way to go.

[capeklr]

Very happy how this little section turned out.

Good Morning Jörg,

Wow, your scenery work is looking great and I have to say, the colour of the rocks looks great. I tend to stay with grey, but this is looking awesome. Very well done. 

Cheers, Evert

Thanks Evert,
yes I guess most layouts have more grey rocks,mountains.
But red is also a color.
Just drive into the Karoo right on our door step, Go over Swartberg pass. I can show you photos.

Hi all,

ballasting and planting grass, I mean glueing down static grass. 

[capeklr]

After Graham built the signal box, I fitted some lights to it.
One outside under the roof and an extra outside light by the door.
Basically a small surface mount Led soldered directly to a 0.5 mm brass rod
bend over and a small styrene washer glued over the Led.
A small blob of Prately clear epoxy over the Led to make it look like a
lamp shade.

Some more photo's of the station area, ballasting done and grass work as well.
I tried to vary the grass colors.
