It just take a little practice and not really any artistic ability.
Thanks , Mike

Mike it's always great to see your work! You really nailed the motel scene, it looks natural, like it was always there. The overall layout is looking quite impressive as well.

Thanks so much Ty and good to hear from you. I trust you are doing well.

Yes I am Mike, thanks. I hope something turns up on your job hunt soon, I'm retired so don't have to worry about that, thank goodness (do still have the part-time job at the Lionel Museum). The job situation is really scary right now.

No luck yet and still looking. Glad you are well.

Here is my Micro-Trains Mine Shaft installed in the Ghost Town area today.

I can just imagine a bunch of bats flying out of there! Neat little structure!

Now there is an idea !!!!!

Very nice and I agree on the need for the bats!

(I don't even want to guess how small Nscale bats would be.)

Really nice work on all the structures!

Thanks Ty and Mark.
I would guess an N Scale bat would be about this big > .
