Looking real nice.  I know how you feel about triming those trees but once you do it you will see how much more realistic the layout will become.

Not to start an argument about this but Rex's little critter is indeed a troll. I just got back from 2 weeks in Norway and saw hundreds just like it for sale and labeled "trolls."

If you Google "gnome" and look at a photo, you'll see it's different. Especially the tall pointed conical hat as opposed to the bushy hair of a troll.

I put one one these things on my layout too, complete with Viking hat with horns.

Having had experiences with trolls of all shapes and sizes, what you have there is a gnome. Gnomes are considered good luck in the cold countries of the north. We have two hose gnomes who watch over us. We would never knowingly have a house troll.

Rex:

The question is "who had the most fun, you or the young ones?"  Off hand I would say "you."

Byron:

Nice slideshow.  What happened to make it "camouflauged"?????????  Everybody, If you click on his pic, you get just the one small pic.  Click on the white space to the right and you get a full sized slideshow.  I've never seen a "hidden slideshow" like this one before.
