The bits and pieces I ordered from Japan have finally arrived. Very exciting! It was like Christmas in June! So now I have some building kits to put together and 'Vietnamize' (is there such a word?) with appropriate signage, details etc.
I got a petrol station which takes up a lot more room than I thought it would, so now I have to decide whether to look for a smaller one (I did see one on the Plaza Hobby ebay site) or move a piece of track to allow enough space to fit it. Decisions... decisions....! It does look very nice though.
I also got some more palm trees and would you believe N scale bamboo! Now where am I going to put that? I also got my 5 level pagoda which will look really good on the module I think. Now where can I get some safron robed monks? Japanese monks seem to dress quite differently from Vietnamese ones so aren't really much use on this module. All of the kits are Tometec, while there is a fully assembled Japanese restaurant by Kato as well which will need a few changes.
I've started laying some roads, but may have to modify one because of the petrol station problem I described above. Also I finally got the top off a LifeLike SW9 (they don't make it easy!) so I now have a chassis ready for when I start on my first locomotive, which will be a D12E. I'll probably have to make new bogie side frames at some point but I think I'll leave that to last.
I also got a nice model of a brick church for my Australian N scale layout, but that's another story.
