It just take a little practice and not really any artistic ability.
Thanks , Mike

Mike it's always great to see your work! You really nailed the motel scene, it looks natural, like it was always there. The overall layout is looking quite impressive as well.

Yes I am Mike, thanks. I hope something turns up on your job hunt soon, I'm retired so don't have to worry about that, thank goodness (do still have the part-time job at the Lionel Museum). The job situation is really scary right now.

(I don't even want to guess how small Nscale bats would be.)

Really nice work on all the structures! Cheers
