LONG OVER DUE UPDATE

hey guys it has been a while since my last update I think it was sometime last year, that's sad but anyway you all would not believe the changes that  have taken place since then. I must say my skills and being a lot more comfortable doing things no has really made me come up with better looking scenes I would or could  consider to be show worthy even but i've even been doing a lot of weathering and even skills there have improved 100 % which is saying a lot but anyway guys I have some pictures to upload later just wanted everyone to know I did not for get about this blog thanks and stay tuned for some what I would say awesome scenes. and please check out my youtube channel to see the scenery for what was to what is now bdrastal.

INSTALLING POLES

Its been a while since my last update but i wanted to share my latest project of putting telophone poles. first off i got some pole kits they  were about 20 dollars but these are for R.R lines to there extal long. so i start by cutting the pole in half and saving both sides. there are three seta of cross bars that hold the wire most poles only have one so u take the other two off and u have doulbe the amount of poles. then dill a hole half way down in plywood of foam and a idea i recently started using was locomotive filler it pretty cheap and u only need a little bit to hold it down. last step get somw EZ wire and install with some crazy glue.


this is them halfway installed
