New guy's photos

The corn field looks like the real thing. The photo with the pickup in the foreground and the 2-8-0 in the background is like the prototype

Did you ever consider doing hair transplants?
Couldn't be any more complicated than planting those corn rows !! Nicely done !!

You aren't kidding! The corn comes in rows of ten. There are 40 rows in a box and I used 4 boxes. That's 1600 corn stalks that each need to be twisted three times by hand since they come flat out of the box. That's 4800 twists with the tweezers! Then you have to dip each of the 160 rows in yellow fuzz for the tassels and 'plant' on the layout. After that I used scenic express dirt sifted over the top to cover the bases. It was quite the process, but if I'm modeling Southern Minnesota without corn and soybeans then I'm not doing a very good job.

Thanks for looking.
