Layout Update Mondays: Painting

Base painting completed on the modules.
I've always felt that one of the significant milestones of layout building is painting the base scenery color onto a layout.  This is the first chance to really begin to see how the final layout will look and it also means that the final scenery step has arrived.  While there will still be a lot of work on details and structures left to complete on the layout over the next year, adding scenery will make the layout look tied together while those other projects are on going.  Over the past week, I've been able to paint all of the road surfaces and landform areas in preparation of adding scenery.  Hopefully, the layout will start to look visually more complete over the next couple of weeks...
