Diary of a 26" x 14" H0e Forest Layout

Added wooden planks on top of the bridges, glued the structures in placed and touched up the edges of the structure foundation. I've been stockpiling figures and parts for two years and now I can finally take them out and utilize them. Which means many little small parts to prime and paint!

After doing more research on Japanese forest railways, I see they display an abundance of Safety First signs. It seems to be indispensable, so I placed two and I might sneak in another one. This is one of the rare times I go to my local print center to get something printed, my inkjet printer is running out of ink and text looks much crisper and sharper from a laser printer.

As I started making logs for the diorama, I wanted to redo the logs for the logging cars. I previously used chewing sticks for small pets (which is one of the methods Japanese modelers use) but it doesn't match the scene. The logs are made from balsa dowels using the same method as I did with the cedar trees. I like the look of these logs better.
