WWI Revisited

Hello,
      sorry about not posting in a while. I have been quite busy and as such have not had that much time for working on the layout not to mention the blog. Today I began a WWI diorama 
and I also have been building a cannery. 

The WWI Diorama

      The diorama was made with three layers of 1" foam insulation board as a base, had the crater holes and artillery hollows carved out, then painted a dark reddish-brown, and finally had mulch (as shattered trees) and other scenery materials applied. As I mentioned before, I find that typical garden mulch, the dry wood stuff not the black kind, makes great shattered trees and is available cheap right out of your garden. You can also buy 15 pound bags of the stuff and you'll have enough to last you a lifetime.
      The diorama is not complete, however, the light rail tracks have to go in still and the road is yet to be laid. The artillery and troopers also need to be ordered. 
      The fish cannery will have its own post as soon as I complete it and I will also describe the project that is for. The O & A layout still needs to be painted but once that is done I can proceed with that project.
      Until next time, Happy Railroading!
