Just waiting for some things to dry and then thats the plan!

Looks great! What'd you use for the brown ground cover around the pipes? Tea?

It is ground leaves. I grind them up in a blender, bake em in the oven, and then use a flour sifter to get the fine stuff. Learned it from Lou Sassi years ago.

I've got this sign about ten miles from my home; on I-75 northbound, Troy, MI. 



I'd have to switch to modelling the GTW/CN to use it on a layout.

Coming along great. I think the paper cup looks great just as it is. Cup Half Full.

Stopped by the Sappi paper chipping facility in town today to get some shots of their power drop so that I can build one for the industrial complex.

The road that went from nowhere to nowhere through nothing....should be an easy enough build  :trollface:
