This week so far I have messed around a little bit more with my batch of Horizon Creation 3D bits. I liked my first attempt at fencing so I made a bunch more to start with.
A bunch of Horizon Creations 3D bits built into fencing. |
This narrow fence support was painted exactly the same way as described in Making Mine Scenery XIV except that I chose not to go as heavy on the rust.
My newish camera phone has a better camera yet I have a harder time getting good pictures. |
This is a top view of the new 4-way intersection. As you can see I made this one with some caution stripes for more visual interest.
This shot features another Horizon Creation 3D bit: one of the fences from their fence pack. I feel like the caution strip base is too pristine and needs to be dirtied up a bit, but I'll get to that later.
Before I wrap up I want to talk about where I am going with my current board plan. What you are looking at here are two horizontal straights, a verticle straight, a T section, two 4-way intersections, and my freight elevator. I want to be able to create flowing layouts that aren't too large that allow for a little bit of maneuvering, so at least one more 4-way intersection and either another T section or an L section should be up next to have my "basics" covered and give me greater flexibility. As always, there will be more to come!

LOL....so technically speaking, in a modular construction what construes the difference between a horizontal and a verticle? straight. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHaha. I went with that terminology because I honestly didn't know how to convey it. North-South vs East-West? I don't know. Haha. Can we get a consultation from an architect or something to clarify how I should express this idea? Hahaha. :D
DeleteNick, I just tried to order some of those Horizon Creations hex sheets and rivet bars........one pack of each ($21 is a bit pricey), but an extra $21 shipping to Europe!!!..........nice idea but not nice enough to pay that excess.
