Re: ACTRR is being dismantled and re-constructed - Fifer - 04-28-2012 I have nearly finished the Fifer Home on the ACTRR. I got the fencing in and the catle underpass to the backdrop as well as some new trees. I still need a garden and a cowboy or two with the cattle. Mike Re: ACTRR is being dismantled and re-constructed - faraway - 04-28-2012 The rocky slope of the little hill and the front of the house with the cars are my favorite Re: ACTRR is being dismantled and re-constructed - Fifer - 04-28-2012 faraway Wrote:The rocky slope of the little hill and the front of the house with the cars are my favorite Thanks Reinhard , I am real happy with this area so far.

Bee keepers and gardens added to the Fifer Home. I finally found the BIG ARROW from when the tourist trap was on the previous layout. Added details to Brownies Service Station. I also finally got the crossing done and the yard tower as well as some out buildings and working on the fuel facillity.

Nice touch!Thanks Ralph , I still need to make the cheezy billboards!! Mike Re: ACTRR is being dismantled and re-constructed - Fifer - 05-13-2012 Today I finally got the billboards together for the tourist trap. I made them in Photoshop then printed them on regular paper at the correct size. Then I sprayed both sides of the paper with Testors decal spray (I think it is just clear lacquer). Then I cut them out and sprayed the back with 3M 77 spray adhesive. I then stuck them to some thin styrene. Then I cut them out with scissors and applied the u channel to the backs and painted them by hand. I then went out and mounted them on the layout. I think the effect is quite good. Mike |
