I had one of those places on my layout that I was never happy with (like we all have at one time or another) and, after trying several building combinations over the past few years, I finally found a pleasing group of structures that just seemed to fit and make a nice busy scene. So, it was time for an "urban renewal" project! The structures are Woodland Scenic's "pre-fabs" and I really like them a lot. The only thing pre-fab is the basic building is a single molding but there's a minimum of four sprues of details. A little paint, a little time, and each kits makes a neat scene all by itself. I kinda visualized these three structures making a nice busy scene and I wasn't disappointed. I had already spread ground foam on the area and was not excited about scraping and making messes so, I cut a piece of 1 mm styrene sheet to the shape I wanted, painted a sidewalk and parking lot, racked the building in place with Goo, spread ground foam, added the details, and placed it on my layout. I like the way it looks... now I can go onto other things.
The area in question went from this:
To this:
This is the scene from overhead before being placed on the layout.
