Yard Structures and other Objects!

I made a few small props today, for the yards and sidings, to add some extra detail and interest. They are small but just as important as the bigger structures on any layout!


Here is another example of some buildings in direct reference to kits made by ether Bachmann or Hornby. This is a tool shed that leans against another structure or wall, equiped with bent card for the water hose spout and gutters! All is needed to make this is Bazzill Basics textured cardstock paper, with Balsa wood to strengthen it. This took me about forty minutes to make.


These tool sheds can be found near the track or the adjacent roads and walkways in-between the sidings, based on the two sheds included in Hornby's Coal Loader resin structure.


Here are some four sacks I made from scratch using Sculpy clay. I used a carving knife to cut rolled logs of the clay to pinch the ends in such a way that it looks like sown ends. I pinched the bags together in certain arrangements, some leaning up against another, and sorted stacks stacked differently for variety. It would be good to paint and weather them to kill the clay shine.
