I'm definitely looking forward to watching your builds of the Tool and Rigging sheds, and I know I'm not alone on that thought.
After (or before) that, I, and others will also be keenly following along with your afore mentioned RailRoadCamp build thread.
Whichever kit/build comes first I know you will enjoy building them and most importantly, we will all enjoy following along and watching your progress and seeing more of your great modelling.
Here is the gap in the roadbed with the deck and two of the the three trusses temporarily in place. And here are the three bents temporarily in place for the joint between the first and second truss. I have two more bents to build for the other end of the center truss. I just did not want the rest of you to think after I finished the truck repair I had slacked off. Thanks, Randy
I look forward to seeing it completed.
Thats great to read about the foundry and I (along with many others) look forward to seeing your great work on all of these, and more great SWSM kits.
You would not normally see it from this angel.
This picture shows the second set of bents with a pass through to access the logging area in the background. Here is a shot to show that a car will go through the pass through.
The last pictures looks back the other way showing the other bents setting on the new cut stone pier and abutment at the end of the bridge. As you can see I still have a lot of scenery to put in and freshen up.
When I get the scenery finished I will post again. Thanks for looking. Randy
These are also the colors I use on my plaster rock castings.
The following picture is of one of the bridge abutmen that is colored and in place.
The last two pictures are along the top and side of the bridge.
I want to thank those of you that that have followed along with the build of my first Sierra West Kit. I would especially like to thank the ones on the forum for all the feedback and encouragement during the build. This will be my last post on this thread.
Look for my next thread. Which will be My Second Sierra West model. I have made a small start on the Rigging shed. It will be a few weeks before I post any thing on the new build.
Until then I will be working to get the layout ready for the tours for the NMRA convention. If your are in St. Louis for the convention be sure to stop by the Canyon and Rocky Mountain by Randy Meyer and say hello. Thanks Randy
I'm eagerly looking forward to following your new thread on your new build when it starts.
Thanks for all the participation and effort you put into sharing your great modelling with us all.
