yet another o scale railroad camp build

kebmo

too late. it's already built and configured for the boards to face out. i even built a gate....

kebmo

wait, you said the side without all the interesting stuff showing out, so we're on the same page.
ed: you're too kind.

kebmo

i haven't been screwing off too much. i started on the scenery last week.


and the fence i've been talking about. it's just sitting there for now, nothing has been installed permanently. i have a long way to go with the scenery, but at least i have the first two layers down. Much more to come.




once again, sorry for the crappy photos.

MarkG

I really like the look of the fence, gate, and texture in the last photo Kevin. Great job.

Mark

kebmo

thanks mark! i have a couple more layers of texture to add, and then some static grass. and of course....details.

Robert.G

This really looks good !!!

Joel

Really nice Kevin. Looking forward to seeing it detailed. Any idea if you are detailing all 4 sides? Be a shame to waste all the time on that great gate to have it never seen.

TomMich

Great job Kevin! The fence turned out great! The gate is a nice added touch.

kebmo

thanks everyone. i'm never confident that the dio is gonna pass muster, but i am always confident in the re-assurance given at this forum.
joel, i plan on detailing all four sides of the dio. if i run out of details i'll just get more.

KKarns

Looks great, fun part of the build for sure.

kebmo

it's just a stage for the wood.
the wood is the fun part. once that's done, everything else is just to enhance the presentation.....

kebmo

eric,
for the record, i don't think you're a psychopathic skunkfocker....

The gate helps tell the story of the diorama

kebmo

no ed, i was being nice. eric said his neighbor calls him a psychopathic skunkfocker. i was simply telling eric that i don't think he's a psychopathic skunkfocker. you psychopathic skunkfocker......

kebmo

keep your head down and yank those weeds....

kebmo

i decided to do a test run for the path going around the rear. i think this is going to work just fine.



tonight i'll start working on the path on the actual diorama.

Robert.G

Very wise decision !

Dave_S

Kevin,

I am looking forward to seeing the final diorama and some of your great detail ideas bring it to life.

Later, Dave S. Tucson, AZ

Look's like Ed carrying a case of soda, By the way what is in that glass in the photo?

kebmo

it's water from rinsing paint brushes. not too tasty.....

kebmo

weil i took the plunge and epoxied the structures to the base. that was really all the scenery i could do until the structures were secured. tomorrow night i'll start playing around with details again.





i've got further plans for the rear, but the structures needed to be glued down before i can do it.

KKarns

Nice detailing, love the LPs...

Joel

Looks great!

kebmo

thanks gents. no ed, it's not a drink but there is a bottle of sam adams off to my left.

brownbr

I like the path out back a lot.

kebmo

thanks bryan. i started on the left side last night but need to finish up some details before i can swing around to the back. i did apply some static grass back there last night though.

kebmo

i saw this on facebook and in a lapse of good judgement, i purchased it and frankly, i'm glad i did. it was an introductory offer and i jumped on it. it took about 6 weeks to get here (from china), but all in all i have to recommend it. it comes with 5 interchangeable lenses, and it works like a charm.


it also has a pretty bright led built into it that works very well too.




all in all i'm happy with it. and it works great for the really small work.

kebmo

oh c'mon...

Robert.G

It has this Star Wars thing about it, but I use it a lot since the hawk eye vision has disappeared some time ago.....
