OK, living here in New England, driving on the highway, you always see a small village off in the distance. Usually alls you see is a church steeple, and maybe a couple of roof tops peeking up over the trees.
Since I had a couple of N scale buildings left over(plus a couple Better-Half had stashed away that I found cleaning out the basement), I wanted to duplicate this on my layout. Here's a couple of samples. I'm thinking(thats the burning smell), that I have to place the "village" about eye level to get the illusion, maybe on a hill somewhere.
Constructive critisism and suggestions are welcome.
I know in the second pic I have to work on the background. Its kinda hard to do when you have to deal with roof joists in the way, and I'm thinking these might ruin the illusion.
