SOME NEW STUFF FOR MY PEAVINE SUB

here are some more scratch builds for my layout
first up is the check in & check out conopy for my intermodal yard.
vertical stantion are evergreen "I" beams. they are way out of scale but, it's what i had laying aroundso thats what i used  so thats what i used.

i used a method i saw posted on you tube by Eric Hall. it's simple but very nice results.first i painted the roof with beige paint then i sprinkled woodland scenic fine buff ballast on. after i dries, shake off the access ballast.

next up are the bridge piers & abutments for the "Hassyampa River" i started with evergreen sheet styrene .020"measured and cut my pieces out


next i painted them with aged concrete. because there will be lots of concrete on this layout, i brought a sample of the color to home depot & had them color match the aged concrete
