Great looking layout! I like the water, it looks really good. Nice weathering and scenery too. I hope one day I can get my layouts scenery to look that good. I like what you did with the backdrop, nice work! Hope to see more pictures!

I agree totally, especially about the backdrops. The image blending really adds to the pics. Excelent work. I would love to get mine to look like yours in real life. :thumb: :thumb:
 
I join the ranks of the happy onlookers!

Great layout, very natural looking scenery, beautifully blended background, fine weathering, beautiful scenic details (I love that abandoned spur! :thumb: ) and very good photographs - thanks for sharing these pics with us!

I still want backdrops that look like yours! :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

So do I. ;)

The big challenge on my future layout will be to figure out a way to make my real backdrops look as nice as the ones I Photoshopped. I'll have a few years to figure that one out, and perhaps advances in technology will ultimately provide a solution by then.
 
The photoshop backdrops are nice, but I'm really impressed with your modeled scenery!
That pond is especially impressive! Very realistic! :thumb:
