Thought I'd finally get to posting a few pics of what I've been doing. The clapboard sided building is my first scratch building N gauge attempt, and also the first with styrene...which I really, really, really like working with. The building is all evergreen texture stuff, the windows & doors are Grant line. Structure is not quite completed..still needs gutters, downspouts, advertising, etc., but there it is. The other pics are my first trestle building attempts and first attempts with ground foam and such. Interestingly, the water photographed a whole lot better than it looked (about 10 coats of gloss medium over painted surface) but the next time I'll try epoxy resin, or something else. Great fun, but the entire railroad is going to be torn down and a new one started when I finally get out of the hospital in, hopefully, August.
