Scenes on the Extension

I had the opportunity to run a couple of trains on the new extension the other day.  

I will be adding additional scenery materials to the original baseboard of the WFS Micro layout along with an additional structure representing a business not served by the railroad.  I will also be replacing the original tail track on the WFS with something different.  More on that in the near future.

Backdrop Painting on the Shelf Extension

I finally got around to painting the backdrop on the OASIS District extension.  I used oil paints on the hardboard backdrop panels.  The oils will take a couple of weeks to dry, and then I might tweak the painting a little, but for the most part it is completed.  I will add tree armatures from Scenic Express (SuperTrees) in front of the backdrop to create additional depth in the scene.  Scenery work will go quickly since most of the Wetterau Food Services micro layout already has scenery.  I am also thinking about adding an additional structure to the left of the grocery warehouse to round out the scene.
