This new creek turned out pretty nice Tyson! It's great how you can put so much details on your small layout without it looking overcrowded.

Thanks T, although it's pretty mundane compared to that ballpark your club is building,


Re: Nantahala Midland V 3.0 - Catt - 08-17-2012

Nope "MUNDANE ?? Nope Mike you are waaaaaaay to modest in yourself appraisal of the Nantahala Midland.


Re: Nantahala Midland V 3.0 - Tyson Rayles - 08-17-2012

Thanks Catt but you must not have seen the ballpark they are building! Eek Worship

My two cents?
That which is built by Man, can be modeled by Man. A collection of repetitive details, assembled to create a recognizable structure. Time consuming? Absolutely! Requiring skill and patience? absolutely! Creative? Yes, but, in reality just copying what Man has already done.
That which is built by "Nature", can be replicated in miniature, but isn't as "cut and dried" as a freight car, Bridge, or Ball Park. Capturing the "randomness" of a natural scene takes a completely different set of skills.
There are two different kinds of painters. One applies color to a structure, or wall. The other, tells a story, or records the "mood" of a place, in color, on canvass. One is a "painter" the other is an "artist".

The Ballpark is impressive, mainly because of the massive number of "identical pieces" that have to be made, and assembled, and the need for each to actually be "identical".
In the end, two completely different disciplines, that really are not comparable, though, equally noteworthy.
Building a " scenic layout " takes a combination of both.
I have seen the area you're modeling, and you have captured the "feel" of it extremely well !
