First coat of black, mixed with Iridescent gravite. Three more dry brushing coats of three shades of gray and a burnt umber. The white plaster areas and pink will be painted brown, then dirt, grass and trees will be added. The mountain will continue all the way to the back corner, to the waterfall. Makes little sense looking at it now, but hopefully it will come to life.

I bought these ridiculous weeping willows so I could cut them up to make ivy. I super glue them end to end. They'll hang over the edge alone the edges. I'll paint some of them a lighter green.

Tis the Season. I believe this train is from Canada and travels across the boarder into some of the upper States.



Canadian Pacific (CP) recently bought Kansas City Southern (KCS).

KCS was a North/South line from IIRC Ilinois, all the way to, again IIRC New Orleans/Texas.

Also into Mexico-

The new name is CPKC.
 
I found my thread.

I have been arguing with myself as to whether I should put money into model railroad or not.


It would take money away from the mopars.... but it's only money and a thousand bucks will go really far in this hobby.... but that's money I could use to put disk brakes on the GTX. ...


Well, I guess it's time to back read this thread to decide
 
I've seen you playing a bass.

That's another potential money eating hobby.

Add vintage audio gear, and you've got most of my hobbies...all potentially big time money eaters.

...and now Legos with the grandkids.

I recently paid $80 for a 1979 LL924 Space Cruiser to complement our modern Space kit collection.

...and it was by far the cheapest of any listed for months. Typical price $150.

It was the very first "Space" kit.

Some of those folks are crazy hard core.
