Lift out panel, Wednesday, January 26th.

On this blog is a photo showing the almost finished panel. What you see in the photo took perhaps three days of spare time. Today I added another layer of EnviroTex to the "pond". This compound sets up in 4 to 6 hours and dries hard & clear. I've used this product before for modelling water, and am very happy with it.

The minature pine trees were made by cutting the tops off of larger trees!. In trying to simulate distance, objects must be shrunken. Most of these trees were less than a half inch tall!.

The house and autos seen are closer to 'Z' scale, a scale that's approximately 80% the size of 'N'.

The rest of the greenery are common every day products from Woodland Scenics.

Soon I hope to have a photo of this panel installed on the layout. Stay tuned.
