WOOHOO! Good weather = time to build

[Gary S]

Gary...I saw a video some time ago (don't remember how I found it... :oops: ), where a guy did just that (hiring an artist). The guy did some beautiful work...seamless transitions between scenery and backdrops....As I remember, he also did some of the scenery work so the effect was really astounding...

As to the respect thing....I don't see a whole lot of guys making their own engines, rolling stock, structures....You get the point.

And I figure since I am using flex track and store-bought turn-outs, I am pretty much below respect already!

But seriously, if I could get a color slide of the bayou pic, I could shine it on the wall to help paint it, at least it seems like it could work. I'm not expecting the backdrop to be photo quality, but to provide something somewhat pleasing. Still though, the picture poster thing is a possibility. We'll see as time goes by.
