2011 UPDATE, THE TOWN (PT2)

Back in August, I did an update on the alleyway behind The Pub. More changes have taken place since then...

Early last summer, the alley looked like this.

The August post showed the front set of Woodland Scenics hedgerow; this shows the second set added to the rear that I had planned to add. Now, not only is the blue foam board hidden, but the 'brush' also adds depth to the scene.


These two shots show both the two sets of hedgerows and the new building at the far end. At the time, I had only placed the rear half of the building on the layout; the exact location was (and still is) up in the air. And even the hedgerows were moved farther back later on. They are now completely behind the furniture store.

This is the back alleyway as it appears now. Behind the two sets of hedgerows is an application of ground foam "grass" to hide the blue board when seen from the front of the layout. It also makes the alleyway look good from just about any other viewing angle!

The layout's looking really good. It's hard to belive it's humble beginning at the old shop.
