hey guys thanks for the clarification on painting people, particulary with dark skin tones, the area I model will be predoninatly anglo but a few maori's or polynesians may make an apperance for the sake of being politically correct.
just as a side note not to hijack or anything but I am a bit of a history buff which is why im into trains but I've always found it interesting how very little social commentry is made in our work. Within the hobby MSM in the few years ive been reading ive only seen one passing mention (in regard to segregation on train carrages) to the social changes underway during the steam to diesel transition era in the U.S most notably the civil rights movement.
Now of course Im not saying everyone need to go and put a HO MLK on their layout but do you guys ever think about whats going on down there on the layout table or are your residents more enlightend then their contemporary cousins?
