I’m still alive, just not a lot of postable progress lately.  I’ve been working on a few structures to add to GERN Industries. I’m hoping to have the buildings constructed and painted by Sunday.  I’ll post some pictures when done.

That’s about it for now.

Edit:  6/30/08 - I ran out of Plastic cement last Thursday, so I never got to finish my structures. :-(  Hoping it’ll arrive today or tomorrow in the mail though.

Ordered a new kit from Pikestuff today to expand the GERN plant.

I’ll build it up so it’s about half as deep as normally intended so it’ll be more of a backdrop building, and it’ll go to the left of the kraft mill with an interconnecting pipe bridge. Not sure if I want to paint it to match the color of the mill building or go with some other color yet.

First I secured all the track down for the GERN plant.

Then I cut and attached the fascia for the lower level lights.

Here’s another shot of the corner tunnel I’m going to add. Couldn’t really decide what to do with this area, so I thought a little tunnel cutting through the edge of a cliff would look good.

And lastly just a shot of how the wiring panel looks today with the turnout wiring RJ-11 Boxes.

Here’s my partially completed Dominos kit from summit custom cuts. I seem to have misplaced the windows and some door frames. Also need to paint roof and awnings and later had some details.

After searching around for some concrete pillars in n-scale one day, I stumbled across this product from Monroe Models. It looked just like what was wanting, so I ordered a box from modeltrainstuff.com, along with the extension set to see how they looked.

UPS dropped them off today and I opened them right up and they’re perfect! All they need is a painting of concrete color and they’ll look even better I bet.
