Saint James Landing

The Development of St. James Landing is moving along.  The church (St. James) was moved from the harbor area and there are some new buildings being added, while others are being moved around.  I just purchased another Brachs building kit so I can finish off the scene divider in this area. I'm also kit bashing some DPM kits into more residential type structures that'll go down Bisbee St. (Structures on a hill always remind me of Bisbee AZ, where everything seems to be on a hill.)  I'm thinking I'll put a small cemetary next to the church, as that wouldn't be too uncommon.

I'm starting to add the Chooch flexible stone walls to the landing.



All the elevations aren't correct, but you can start
to get the idea of what's to come.



Looking at the landing from the east, prior to
Bisbee St. being added.  I'm also getting
some ideas on what buildings look right.








A DPM kitbash and the start of the
drycleaning business.

A closer look at the back of the
drycleaners as it's getting
finished up.



Looking to the east and the front of the
new drycleaning business.



A new residence is started on north side
of Bisbee St., another DPM kitbash.
I need to get to work on the south side of
the street.  I'm thinking a couple more residences?

A new year, finally a name, and a new area develops from the ground up!

2011 has arrived and the largest city has a name, "New Rahel".  It seems to roll off the tongue nicely and has some meaning as well.  I'm almost done with the passenger terminal area of town and have turned my attention to the north.  I'm calling this area St. James Landing.  It's an older neighborhood and a visual transition point from one side of the layout to the other.  Feel free to follow along as it takes shape.

 You can see the background / divider that doesn't extend to the end of the section.  St. James landing needs to make a visual transition from the industrial area on one side and the business neighborhood on the other side.

 

 Theres an overpass at the very end and behind that is a part of Ridgeway Paints manufacturing plant complex. 
2" pink foam almost brings the landing up to the level of the adjoining station and commerce area.  There is a piece of gator foam on the other area, so I can get into the track tunnel. The side of the foam will be covered with the new Chooch flexible stone walls.  It's also covering the incline on the highway overpass.
