Yep, I also was going to recommend Walthers.. My LHS orders them from Walthers (they don't stock figures as there are just way to many) but they give me a 25% discount from Walthers prices, so I always give them my business. Even at Walthers' price, the figures are still a bargain when you...

guppyman, Presently, each piece is a separate one. There's one section of a mini-module that ends with a turnout, so there is a curved piece and a straight piece in close proximity (the photo before was of the curved piece) and the ballasted areas are real close together... I may have to do...

:thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :D :D :D Hey Cinnibar, I have an idea for you! (I'm just full of ideas today!) That first picture looks almost like a painting.. you could angle it and put it on an easel! That might look interesting! ;)

Grrr, ok, here's the picture I forgot to post... :rolleyes:

And here is a shot of the 4 new "citizens" with a scenic surrounding. (The gas station is all I have that's fully 'scenicked' right now.) Sorry that the photo is a little blurred, I guess it was trying to focus on the structure (which I cropped out) but I think this gives the general idea of...

Anachron, you really ought to try it! I thought the exact same thing, until I paid $10 for 5 Preiser figures and said "No way, this cannot continue like this." So I bought the box of unpainted ones to give it a shot. $20 and it came with over 120 people and 6 benches! (Not the ones in the photo...

One more... Hmmm, I'm undecided on this method... From far away they look pretty good, but up close they look awful! The figures are so small that... well, I dunno... what do you guys think? I'm going to try to put them in a setting... maybe that will help me decide.

If weathering is a new concept for you (as it is for me) then I recommend doing as you go along. If you mess up (like I often do) then it is the best time to re-do it when it is half complete, rather than at the end when everything else is glued already. If a little bit gets messed up as you...

Here's another one...

Very cool! Have you ever considered posting step-by-step photos? I'm sure they would be much appreciated!

Very realistic, Val! I clicked on the little arrow that takes you straight to the recent post, so the first picture I saw was the last one you posted... I thought it was real! When I Scrolled up to see the rest of the thread I realized that it was not! WOW! :eek:

!!!!!! That's great! :) :wave: :thumb:

Awesome! And... is that a microsoft keyboard and optical mouse you have there? I think those are the same ones I have ! :D

Great concept and works beautifully! I think you could take it a little further with one of those lens... I forget what they are called ... that makes the foreground bigger and the background smaller... is that a wide angle lens? Anyway, it would help to reduce the background image so that...
