All you need now, is some dim lighting, some foggy streetlamps, a 1920's black cadillac, some shady characters in pinstrip suits (with spats) and violin cases!
Great job Charlie, going to have a go at it with one of my show modles. Don't know where you get your artwork but I was going to use my digital camera and photograph some of my previous buildings from several angles. Have several programs for sizing the picture and a fairly good printer, whatcha think? Do you glue the back ground buildings onto a piece of foamcore or something to give it a little depth?
Bill,
The "artwork" is just those Instant Buildings from Walthers, that I had reduced 50% for N scale, cut them out with an x-acto knife, & glued them directly on the backdrop. I would love to try what you're talking about, but my printer is...well...I don't think I can use words like that on this forum...
Tyson,
Don't feel bad...I've been working on this microscopic layout for a year now! (the whole thing would probably be a leisurely evening's work for Shamus!)
