Beach Day in G-Scale Land - Part 1 - 06-28-14

(Blog Entry By Bob)

Let's go to the beach to celebrate Canada Day and the Fourth of July.

With all the care and attention of looking after the train tracks, roads, buildings and countless plants/weeds, the back of the Commerical buildings have become neglected.





Now, I had always pictured a boardwalk, carnival or a network of small shops and cafes beside the pond, but I was never able to settle on a plan of what to do.

Mary suggested  'a beach'.  My mind stated to cultivate this idea knowing I had a number of unpainted bathers on our artroom table.   We moved plants, relocated the lighthouse , ripped out the weeds and installed sheets of asphalt shingles before we topped it with bags of sand.




At first I was nervous that the rain would wash it away or the stray cats would use it as an outdoor liter box, but everything weathered great. I spent this past week painting new people and finding props for today's photo shoot.

We are very excited about this blog because normally we would take photos and compose the write-ups weeks/months in adavance.  What we post is usually a reflextion of what the layout used to look like.  But we are pleased to announce that these photographs were taken just this morning and we plan to take another batch of pictures tomorrow for a second holiday weekend blog!!!

We hope you enjoy our day at the beach.
