Thanks. It was easy to do. "The parking lot/road are cut up from Scalescenes.com products." I just cut then up and glued them like a quilt. cheers

Thank you. The parking lot/road are cut up from Scalescenes.com products. We will see on lighting, I am thinking about making this part of a bigger complex, depends where it ends up etc. Cheers pfs (paul)

It seems better, once you sperate all the attachments from the DB we will notice marked improvement. Good luck.

Still not done, but getting there. Here is an update. Sorry the photos are blown out , I will reshoot in better light when I post an update. More when I can.

Thank you. -pfs (paul)

I did not make the deadline, I tried to get a quick start, I knew that work would hinder efforts going forward. Just wanted to post progress, not looking for any votes. I still have final details and weathering to do to the building. I will 'sink/embed' track into formboard, detail surrounding...

Well done Tyler, keep us posted on your progress. Remember Grandpa's are a great source to learn from, mine taught me many lessons I am now starting to pass to my son. Cheers, -pfs (paul)

Road bed, track, scenery (grass) ..then ballast. Other opinions to follow.

Thank you! It was my first HO car. My 4th car overall. (My scale is N) I just followed instructions/techniques. (link below) I was using AIM powders and gouache (think water colors on streiods) oh and I used a dremel on the car body also. Go here: http://www.modeltrainsweathered.com/...

Got a bit distracted from the kitbuild challenge and tried weathering my first HO car.

Thanks! Got a gluing jib (ebay) in the mail today, excited to move forward so I can use it. Need to paint the doors (small) prob will use off white and orange not sure. ANd I want to do some more detal painting/weathering before I glue the structure together.

Got a little work done on my entry in the kitbuild challenge; http://www.the-gauge.com/showthread.php?t=27462 I must thank people here and other great fourms (such as MTW) I have gleamed a lot and its given me a lot of confindence in my work (this is my second structure). Thanks eveyone.

Here is something with a little less light. (seems I only post too dark or too light!)

Found a little time last night to play with the roof sections. They are pretty much done untill assembly.

Heck no, I do the same thing. I will post more down the road. Trouble is getting close, there is a factory tour via Henry Ford Greenfeild Villiage but I dont think they get too close to the blast furnace. Its centered around the F-150 assembly (yawn). I noticed some work in front of the...

Excellent work!

Here is one from last summer, I was railfanning the CSX yard that runs alongside Rouge. Not good quality but it was quite a distance away. Its covered in this 100 year old wet rust, its AMAZING

I will admit that everything is made for HO but N has a lot of options. As far as N looking unrealistic, when I see HO layouts that only allow for trains with 5 or 10 cars (due to space), 9 out of 10 cases that looks more unrealistic to me. /2cents

All the pics are outstanding everyone! The mill looks great trucklover, once spring hits michigan (it was snowing today) I am going to get some decent shots of the blast furnaces at the Rouge Complex. Hope to start a mill complex before the snow flies this fall

I ended up using some coach green with bar grey (scored a lot of mix and match on ebay). Happy with the color, I added some ink wash (both blk and white and mixed them as well). Wont prob get much done over the remainder of the week. Sorry about the poor lighting in these....
