Very nicely done! I too, would like to see the scene this is going into. Is there a specific part of Maine that you're modeling?, or are you just capturing a "Down East flavor"? Your photos raise the question, why printed paper, when you do such nice work from scratch?

Tom, Not only is the photography great, the background paintings help immensely to put everything in context! Do you do your own backgrounds? If so, how about a quick "how to"? Overall beautiful work!:thumb: keep the pics coming!

The Archer, AR88014 set would probably be the best for N scale, the rivets are 0.008", which converts to 1.25" full size.

Les, one little bit of friendly advice.............don't wear camoflage! :mrgreen: When the "light at the end of the tunnel" is the overhead kitchen light reflecting off the nose of a .45 cal ACP round, in the chamber of a colt M1911, aimed at your own head ...

Harold, Thanks for the link to the photos of the 4-4-0. I saw this loco at the iHobby Expo, in Rosemont Illinois, this weekend. It is a little beauty! Bachamnn also had a pre-production Fn3 2-6-6-2 T, that was absolutely amazing. I only had a brief moment to talk with Lee Riley about the...

Good to see you posting here again! No matter anything else, you have the company of friends here. :wave: Pete

Matt, If you attend the iHobby Expo, in Rosemont, on the 18th-19th (open to the public), stop by the GCLaser booth and say Hi. (anyone else who sees this, feel free to do the same) Pete

Catt, I thought you got into On30, because N, and HO were too small! Z ??? :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: 30 years is a good life for a model railroad! Congrats!, and may fortune favor you for a bunch more. Pete

I do know that the WS Real Water product WILL find the smallest "leak", and escape through it! :eek: I also know that the water area of my Ntrak module, which was plywood, sanded, painted, and sealed with clear varnish, built up depth with each new application of Real Water. Plaster cloth...

What I have found here, is a microcosim of the world society. As such, I have also found that culture, geography, coloquial speach, and attitude, all form our means of responding to others. What is perfectly normal and natural for one culture, within that culture, is insulting, degrading, or...

:oops::oops: :oops: I got the material,...... without the instructions. Still, the product is very fragile, so procede carefully.

Yeah, when I finished my SD-60 kitbash...poof!! there they were! kit, and RTR! So!, I did an SD-50 kitbash, and it was several years before that one was released in plastic! My C&NW GP15-1 kitbash remained a "one-of-a-kind" until Smokey Valley released their kit. I also have one of the...

scenic cement It's not scenic, and, for trees, it's more like cement(heavy) than adhesive for leaves. I would recommend the prescribed preservation technique from the "manufacturer / distributor". I would recommend clear gloss spray (rattle can from Ace hardware, or equivalent it's less...

That sure gives a clear idea just how large those wind generators are!!!

For my purposes, weeds, used to make trees must follow these rules: 1. They must look like scale trees.(or be able to be modified) 2. They must be strong enough to withstand the handeling necessary to make them into trees, and hold the foliage.(they can't be too fragile) 3. They must "stand...

I've met, and had several conversations with the guys from Sylvan. Good people, and they produce some excellent kits!

Nazgul, Cannonball, Thanks. I guess that's what fifty + years in the hobby can do for you. And I'm still learning.

I can only begin to imagine how tough it is to not be able to visit with friends. I can, at least for now, get to the library to check in, and visit. Hope this gets done sooner than later, it would be good to hear from Paul, here.

:twisted: :twisted: There are those who have to say something, and......there are those who have something to say. 10,000 posts! :eek: 20 miles of barbed wire. :eek: Mr. Mikey, tear down that fence! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: That's near twice what I've got. On the other hand,........that's...
