[Mini Me]

Looks like a fun project.

Paul cominng on nicely.

Don't like how the road turned out, so will redo darker & more uniform in width.

 

[minitnkr]

Like this attempt more. Will next add trees & undergrowth. C&Cs encouraged.

 

[Mini Me]

I like that! Currently deburring a couple of Arsenal M kits of Autocar 5 ton tractors (I HATE Resin kits) I have been toying with the Idea of doing the "Tokyo Express" in a much more Mountainous dio but more compressed than your current efforts. I'm sure you have plenty of vehicles waiting in the wings.....I have a feeling this will be a very successful endeavor. looking forward to the "Gardening".

 

[minitnkr]

Can't wait to see how well they turn out. Never wanted to take a chance on them after seeing other poor attempts.

 

[minitnkr]

Test fit of tree armatures & convoy members. C&Cs welcomed.

 

[minitnkr]

Finished gardening Red Ball dio I think. C&Cs encouraged.

Excellent, Paul. You really have a good eye for detail. Vehicle spacing and just the right amount of "gardening".
