One way to improve one's model work is to stop looking at an item as the end all/be all for your layout. With careful cutting and joining, a picket fence can fit your model's specific needs, rather than building your model to fit the stock item...
...stock piece positioned for measuring...
...necessary lengths are cut, fitted and glued, mounting pins drilled and installed and gate positioned where I want it...not where the manufacturer put it...
...final result, a fence any neighbor would be proud to chat over the day's events. Use a small amount of cement and give it plenty of time to set...
...and, yes, I straightened the two corners after the pic was taken--the only time stuff like that shows up...sigh...... ;-P

Bob,
I am very interested in you blog and activities. Please consider adding you HO picket fencing idea to my website. There is a form at the bottom of this page:

You can add up to four pictures.
I would also be interested in a link exchange.
