The Contractors Yard # 2

I completed the fencing along the tracks as well as the remains of the abandoned coal bins. I still have to add some decking on the coal bins, some construction materials stored in the bins and a chain link gate. The construction materials will probably be added as I come across things I think will work. The graffiti I made my self referring to Internet images I found. I just used very fine pens to draw on the fences and wall.


 If I had some good urban images on the backdrop, the scene above would be great.
 I still have to add some tall grasses and weeds along the wood fence, and I'm thinking of a light pole (working of course) just behind the storage trailer.
This image shows that I still some weathering to do on the tracks. I'll have to fire up the airbrush for that part.

The Contractors yard

I'm finally making some headway on the ex Coal and Ice distributor which is now a construction contractor. I started building a fence from scrap freight car parts and will finish an ordinary wooden fence. I might make a chain link gate. I still need more junk but I'll add that after I finish adding weeds around the fence.
