Campgrounds

Next came cutting out the pieces of the mat that would eventually be laid out as the campground portion of the display.

Here they are cut out



And here is the road that I cut out too.

I just used Elmer'a Glue to glue it all down and a pair of scissors to cut everything.

Okay all here is what I have done on the campground thus far since my last post.

I took this after I laid out where i wanted the tree's so they still have their bases on them.





I took them off of their bases and made small enough holes that they sit upright with out the base



this is the tool I used to do it.

And the camp mascot Moejoe is ready to great all visitors. The red building is leaving the display.

Hey Dan thanks I have made a few changes and some improvements to the campgrounds the past three days. I will post them later but I have also learned a few new things to do to the campgrounds.

Thanks Patrick when I finish with redoing the road I will post pictures of it.

Here is how the roads turned out with the new material in place and cleaned up.

i added a playground and got some red clay dirt from one of the parks to make it look different than the rest of the Campgrounds.



You can also see in the picture that I added some pieces of chard wood from the grill at home. We use real wood charcoal for cooking on the grill.

Ok the rustic cabin finally showed up as did the swimming pool and the picnic tables.

I painted the outer area of the pool a concrete color to make it look more in detail.



I also added a couple of shelters.

Here is the cabin that I used for the office along with a Ice Machine. You can also see the spool of thread that I used as the telephone wires. I plan on next time using t-stat or telephone wire and painting it black to see how it works.

Campground is coming along Dave... .... Guests, playground, pool and it even has power for them RV hookups

Patrick

Neither can I Shell. I will finish adding the people and then post some final pictures of the Campgrounds in the next few days.

I want to say to everybody I really appreciate all of the positive comments and the suggestions. I also want to apologize for my lack of participation and posts. I was promoted back to Supervisor at work and with the complex I work at, almost 400 units, it is a lot of work. I end up working in the morning and I end up working at night. Last night I was at the Emergency Room with one of my guys that got hurt till 9 pm and did not get home till almost 10 pm. Don't get me wrong I love it but the complex has been neglected for years and it is my job to get almost a hundred units turned and to clear up almost 60 pending work orders. Even my weekends do not pan out. In another month or two things should be back to normal.

Thank you once again all and have a great night.

Here Al is making sure that the fire pits are properly handled.



And Tim is heading out with the lawn tractor to start cutting the grass.



And finally an overview of the campgrounds as I get ready to start working on the next diorama.




Hey thanks for all the comments and for viewing this diorama.
