I have finally got around to building the garage for the Farm House

Garage with the farm house

Matching the paint scheme and weathering on that little garage really adds to the believability of the scene. Nice job!

cool stuff! are you going to add water in that ditch? it reminds me of when I used to live in another part of NJ. there was a ditch ( not by any track unfortunately) like that, and i'd be sitting their catching tadpoles and stuff. once me and my friends got ambushed by an under ground hornets nest, lol. i thought i got away until a block later a single hornet came and stung me, lol. all of my other friends got it bad.

keep up the good work!

You do some excellent work Tom.

So just how big is this layout going to be once it's all done?

Another construction that has begun again.

I started off with coloring the road. I painted it with Folk Art Dark Gray. I then drybrushed it with Folk Art Charcoal Gray, Light Gray, and then again Charcoal Gray.

I now have added some dirt shoulders with Woodland Scenics Fine Turf – Earth. The barn is shown in its eventual spot.

Hey Tom..!! Good to see you're back in harness...Hope to see more pics as you progress. BTW...What did you use to make the road..??

 

[TomPM]

Thanks!

I finished adding the medium green fine turf a couple of weeks ago. I finally got some photos of it.

Here we are with the farm buildings temporarily in place. I still need to do driveways.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks!

I added some WS turf – Earth before we went on vacation to lay the base areas for driveways and areas around the barns.

Thanks guys!

Here are a couple of progress shots of the foliage along the ridge behind the Farm House area.

I used WS Clump Foliage, Fine Leaf Foliage, and foliage to make the scene.
