Well Its been a few days/weeks/month, but I've done some work on the city deck. One of the main things holding me back right now is a lack of buildings. Because of the urban nature of this here layout, I need buildings in place so I can more easily plan out the roads (at least thats what I keep telling myself!). So what I've done is look around at some building I fancy and copied out the foundations (width/length) of the buildings on to some paper and placed them out to help visualize were to road and where to sidewalk.
This be what I got so far:
N scale birds eye view
So you can see kinda what I'm looking at hopefully. Some of the buildings are actually paper buildings from Hawk Wargames which fit(roughly) the size of the buildings I'm interested in.
The little paper ant trail is actually what will hopefully be a future street car line that goes off the city deck and becomes an EL that runs through the other half of the layout. Using an engine shed as a stand in trolley barn.
you might not be able to tell, but thats supposed to be a city...
Also, I was looking at the station, and was thinking of moving it back a little bit. I know I wanted the front facing out so I you can see the pillars, but I don't want it to look like a modeling "mistake" so to speak. I was thinking that if I pushed the station back a bit, that it would have more of a natural look to it.
I duno...I gotta sleep on that one before I start cutting.
