For forced perspective I used a 1947 Renault ( 1:43 scale ) at the far end of the street.

I used various flowers and sprinkled green grass alongside the house foundation and roadway. The iron stantions also had some patches of snow which I also painted with the same concrete color paint. I painted the base with Floquil Concrete color. The original Dept 56 had a white base to replicate snow. I'm still not satisfied with the way I did things here and plan to change out the stone walls which are made by Dept.

I used stacks of chopped firewood and ground foam to hide the seams.Īnother urban scene at Our Lady Of Locomotion Church. This is a scene where the Sasquatch is about to change the situation of a robbery. The picnic table is almost covered in leafs. After connecting the wiring all I did was set the building in place then added ground foam around the foundation.

Here is the side of a JAHNS building by MTH. However, we have all been in older city retail districts which are kept pretty much spotless from curb to roof. As I look at this photo now, the Kiddie City Toys can use some weathering, especially the sidewalk. In this city scene, I just set the buildings in place. I use glue for people figures, trees, poles, and very small items such as bicycles & motorcycles. I just slide it back to its original position and hide the seam with ground cover, if needed at all. LOL! Rarely, as I'm working on the layout, I may bump a building out of place. Using no adhesives, makes for easy removal for urban/rural renewal projects. I hide seams using scenic material such as ground foam, lichen, etc. I just set my buildings in place using no adhesives.
