How bad does freezing damage acrylic paint?
Last month I ordered a big bottle of AK Terrains Concrete paint from England. We got hit bad by the two ice storms and were without power for 11 days. When the post office finally decided they could make it to our mail box to deliver the paint, it was still too icy for us to make it down the hill to pick it up. Consequently the package spent the night in about 6 degree temperatures. I am wondering just how much damage being that cold will do to this paint. I plan on trying it out today on a piece of scrap. Any thoughts?
A potential scene, but hard to see details in prototype
I came across this photo and like the floating pier and boat that are in it while the tide is out.
I'm entertaining the idea of creating this type of pier on my new module

but I can only guess what this narrow floating pier looks like in detail. Creative licensing is obviously in order, but would appreciate any ideas.
N Scale 3D Printable Kits
I don't have a very big layout so as a outlet I've been designing N Scale 3D printable items you put together. They are designed to be printed on a PLA printer with 0.4 nozzle. I concentrated on making the parts functional and practical as ultra fine detail just isn't possible with this type of printer.

What went wrong?
I did this small section with Peco and Noch static grass. I used non diluted white glue and all the grass was applied to the same surface/textured terrain.

Next day when I started to vacuum up the excess grass, mostly the Peco blended areas didn't stay, but the Noch areas did.
UV cured epoxy, a little story.....
Found out something interesting today. A while ago I wanted to try UV activated epoxy. I’ve got some in my mouth and it seems to want to stay there so I figured it might be handy. I ordered the cheapest thing I could find on eBay coming from China and waited for it to arrive. When it did I tried dripping some on a part and then shining the light from the associated UV flashlight that came with the liquid epoxy. The epoxy took its time getting a skin on and I finished it off on the back porch railing.
Planning the Citadel Complex, help and advice needed
So, I have decided to start planning out a very important part of the White Lion Railways network, being the Citadel Complex, which is the official name of the Modern Columbus Union Station, in Columbus, Ohio. The Citadel is the Epicenter of White Lion Railways operations, being the Central station of the High Speed rail system that links Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus, Akron, Cleveland, White Lion City, and Toledo, as well as the East/West railway line connecting Lima, Columbus, and Steubenville.
