    Looking good Ron. :thumbs:

    The silos have come up trumps. Will you be adding a feed pipe from the top of the silos to the canopy ??

    Tip... If you ever want to hide the coils in the cardboard, glue a couple of layers of tissue paper over the top. ;)

    Cheers, Gary.

    Today I finished off fitting the legs to the other end of the board and can now dismantle it and work on each end as I need too. (and I now have some free bench space!) :)

    Two new cars and a 'scrap' load. After fixing Kadee's to the cars, I lightly weathered them.
    I painted, and fitted the 'scrap' load and put together the Rush City yard boards for a photo shoot!!

    Started on the back scene on Rush City yard, I will erect a fence in front of the buildings to give a bit of depth to the layout..

    Can I recommend layering the buildings. The multi story building still has the look of being far too small for its position. Maybe place another one or two buildings in front. ;)

    Cheers, Gary.

    Having the fence in place definitely changes the aspect, but extending the taller back ground building behind the low relief shed (Scalescenes kit) has made the biggest impact.

    Personally I feel that the red brick building (left of low relief shed) could have been taller, or just lifted higher. ;)

    Cheers, Gary.

    Cruel close up though Ron, what's it look like from further back.
