Started making more fences. I found a solution to keep things in place. I lay down a piece of tape with my measurement marking. Then place a piece of parchment paper overtop can see the marks through the paper. I use white glue to glue the posts in place, then add my boards overtop. After you can use and exact knife to pull it all off without damage. The glue doesn't stick to the parchment paper too hard. I get sheets of thin thin wood in my cigar boxes on certain brands, so i never through them out, great for making plywood and wooden sheets.

Added a few vehicles to the layout, and some more people. The blue gravel trucks I changed the dirt colour to real dirt.

Bought and built some benches, and a package of people in the sitting position. Starting to add some life to the layout.
