Los Rios District (Lupe Combs Adobe)

 A quick update on my adobe houses along Los Rios Street


 Painting and weathering of the Lupe Combs Adobe is almost finished. I just have to add the windows and scenick the surroundings




That's the spot where the house will be on the layout.



Now I'll have to dig out some more pictures of adobe houses. The problem is that they are only shown from one side, so I have to guess and use modelers license. After all on the layout the houses are only seen from the front side. That makes things a bit easier.


In case you doubt if this house is really an adobe structure, here's a close-up. The addition to the right is wood.


Stay tuned for my next project. The parts for the Packing House Addition have arrived!

  2. Chris, thank you very much for your link. It is a beautifull example of an adobe house similar to those in Capistrano. I will build another 4 or 5 adobes for the Los Rios district on my layout, similar to the one in your link.
