Matt,
I'm with you on this one. I used a very similar method on my trackwork http://bigbluetrains.com/forum/viewtopic...30#p118158 . Unless we all reinvent the wheel, it is inevitable that methods that work for painting track for instance, that are published will be used.
Just because we both used a method of painting track that was recommended by Lance Mindheim, that doesn't make either of us slavish disciples of Lance Mindheim as some seem to believe. In fact it a poor modeller that will not use a method or idea just because it came from someone who they disagree with.
I'm looking forward to seeing the progress of your layout, and I hope when it comes to deciding on what to use for backscene that you don't copy the 'kindergarten cartoons' I've seen on this site, because surely if anything is going to pull your attention away from the railroad it is poorly executed modelling.
