David,question about the buildings at the edges of the layout.How will you treat that outer edge,a finished wall,a modeled interior,or just close them off with the fashia.Or do you have something else in mind?
I plan to finish the edge with plain sheet styrene that will be flush with the edge of the layout. Then, when I apply a surface treatment to the layout edge, it will cover everything, as if it's all one surface. I did the same thing with my diorama, but don't have a photo--I'll try to shoot one soon. I think it looks OK. I was tempted to do cutaways of the building interiors, but that's waaaay too much work.
Damn! I looked to see if you had already covered that and managed to miss your answer.
I will admit the small annex to the row at the top looks off to me when comparing the pictures you posted earlier, I was thinking more something along the lines of an open grassy area. Humbly Submitted, The S.
Humbly accepted. That annex was inspired by the building seen in the foreground below, along with many others like it.The structure also serves to give the edge of the layout a more natural transition into a backdrop. I'm pretty certain the layout will have one at each end. So there may be more "annexes" to come.
I mean if this is the 40's...where are the kids going to play baseball!
As it happens, I've been thinking of modeling this very scene.
You have probably seen this, but here is your furniture factory:
