Initial Progress
These pictures were taken on Feb 16, 2003 when I decided to put up the web site. I would tell you how long it has taken for me to get this far, but I don't think that you would believe me.
Below is a picture of the layout showing you the progress to date. While it is against the wall, the back of the layout is away from the wall and the front is against the wall. I actually am working on the layout in the house while the layout will reside in the garage. The layout is portable enough to allow this to happen with ease. As with all pictures on this site, you can click on the thumbnail to view a larger image.
The image below is the view of the turntable area from the back of the layout. Essentially, this is from the back corner of the layout.
Now don't laugh too hard. This is my first attempt at any type of scenery at all. I purchased a $1.00 can of paint from the local Home Depot to use as my base coat. It appeared to be relatively close to earth color. Actually it is a little dark although, my lack of picture taking expertise makes it look even darker.
Here is another view of the same area. My thinking is that as this area progresses, this type of shot will be used more often. Hopefully, before too long I can also improve my picture taking ability.
Here is one last shot of the whole right section of the layout.
If you're interested, here is the next update.
