"New modules"

[Sumpter250]

I've always liked your harbor and bridge scenes. This time I noticed what appears to be a pretty convincing willow tree. Nice!

Ralph, That willow tree was probably the only one at Trainfest for quite some time now. I'm still playing with new techniques for building an even more "realistic Willow".....so far that's the best I've found.
Mike, Thank You, "Awesome" was what I was trying to achieve .....I think I can still get just a little closer to it, I just have to figure out how to do that.
Reinhard, " It looks very realistic when the rails of the slip run really into the water." Fortunately, I have been able to see an actual "marine railway", and knew that you can still see the tops of the rails after the tops of the ties are under water. The last three ties are actually painted in, each one fading a bit more as it gets deeper.
I have been wanting to include the "slipway" in a scene for a long, long, time. Done !! ( :oops: I still have to rust the rails and weather the ties )
Wayne, Thank You, my "modeling skills", seem to be improving with age and practice. The positive feedback is greatly appreciated, from you and everyone else.
It is especially appreciated, considering the company I find myself with here. Praise from one's "betters" :o , is always a good thing !
