    After 20 years, the "Jewel" is returning to Foss' landing. Pictures to follow next week.

    Lots of work to do Ed but I'm having lots of fun. I still need to do all the pierwork revisions but I'm playing around with the boat placement now.Waterfront scene resize

    Wow. This is going to look really good. The boats are wonderful additions and once you make your pour, it's going to look really outstanding. I always admire folks that take on water scenes - not for the faint of heart. Great job. Phil

    Love the boats , I’ve done some experimenting with modge podge and had issues with air bubbles after set, I had better luck with Golden Gel. I have used the envirotex as well with good results. Looking forward to your completed scene, I finished Foss Landing in the spring, wonderful kit.

    Hello everyone, I've been busy but have still been working on the waterfront whenever I can. The first barge is headed to the Foss Launch company!Barge 1 resize

    I live in Colorado. I don’t have enough closets for coats.

    Years back when we were looking for a house, we almost bought one with no basement. There was a 3rd bedroom I envisioned for the layout. Having 4 boys, later on, would have meant at least one of them would have slept under the layout! I can understand having no "coat" closets in Florida, but Colorado is another story unless the closets you do have are filled with kits and trains?

    That barge is really cool. What is the deck material?
  • JohnM2104JohnM2104
    The deck material is laser cut wood.

    Thanks, Ed. The new floating dock is visible behind the boat. I still have much work to do on that.

    The a Jewel looks great, I remember when I first got the Foss Landing kit and opened it , I was for some reason thinking the Jewel was coming with it. Did you make a decision on what to use for water? I had just ordered up something similar to envirotex but I do like to pour and then use a Golden product to give a current effect.

    John,

    This harbor scene is shaping up to be not just a hub of activity but a "jewel" to look at.

    Later, Dave S. Tucson, AZ
