If anyone remembers earlier pictures of my City of Saint Barbara, you may note that I never showed the other side of town. That's because there was nothing there. So, over the past several weeks I have been constructing new buildings and rehabilitating some old structures to populate the other main street in town, Schuylkill Avenue. I have a couple of quick shots here and I'll try to get some better pictures later.
This is a view from the yard level looking up at the city. Constructed the bridge from a piece of foam board and some strips of wood.
The tall building, St. Barbara area medical center, was the edge of the city scene before adding the rest. This area had just been a slab of foam core insulation board.
A view across the Schuylkill Avenue Bridge, ending at the intersection in front of the Saint Barbara Aluminum Corporation. The bridge in the right rear is obviously a Kato double truss with a deck added to turn it into a highway bridge. The street lights are from Kato as are the traffic lights, which had to be modified for American traffic by cutting off the light units and gluing them in the opposite direction.
A lot remains to be done as far as detailing, but at least I finally have the small yard in place.
