I think the kind of plaster Shamus uses might be known in the states as 'brown coat' and you may not be able to find it at the HD types of stores. I think it's the coarse plaster used as the base coat for 'lath and plaster' walls which are nowadays only found in old old houses. I don't think...

WOW great old photos!! Well I won't post a pic of my (dads) layout here as I don't have any 'old' photos of it and *I* didn't build it, but he built it in the 1950's before I was born. It hasn't had much done to it since then but I will change that one day, there's a pic of it in the face...

NICE bridge Robin!! WOW cardboard 32"...does it sway when the train runs over it? Could you add these pics to the 'bridge pics' thread please???...would be an awesome addition to the collection ;)

What a great collection!! Thanks everyone :D Hey Shamus..what are YOUR rocks made of??

Very cool indeed..especially with the digi enhancement. Computers bring a whole new dimension to modeling, can enhance but not replace scratchbuilding tho.

Strolls in barefoot, ratty bluejeans and t-shirt covered in ground foam and spattered with dried hydrocal....looks askance at all the yuppies....I'll have an iced double decaf mocha with whipped cream and shaved godiva dark..... please ;) :D Nice work Mike!

But Catt...you old pros is where I learned in the first place ;) Hey Charlie...If you want me to I can set up the post and text in the general forum for Dave to move to the Academy..but first I think you need to fix one of the photos--it's very small on the webpage.

Thanks everyone for your kind compliments and encouragement. :) I was having a real hard time getting started on anything, I'm fair at execution once I get started but have a hard time coming up with ideas and of course I've never done this type of modeling before. I stumbled...

Thanks Casey, I used WS Stone Gray in various thinnesses (is that word?lol) I just kept playing with the mix and finally, lol when it got too dark, tried wiping it which really gave me what I was looking for. Thanks Val....it did work well but....see on the right where I crushed the wrinkles...

Hi Ralph...I use internet explorer 5...just tried again whith same result. OhWell I remember reading alot of posts about it not working so maybe thats par for the course. Will try again another time.

Using Charlies excellent tutorial, Thank you VERY much Charlie, I have taken another 'first' modeling plunge today. Here are the results, kinda ugly but I learned ALOT. Like mix your colors better, that one brown is kinda too red. Mix some dirt and dry leaves in with ground foam, I was just...

I just noticed the "live chat" link at the top of the page....so, how slow am I? How long has that been there? Seen a few posts about the chat, so I thought I'd check it out. I clicked it and got a new window, saw my name in a panel to the right, was able to type in the 'say' field and it...
