I don't know half of what you said, 'cause I'm a newbie, so I bookmarked it for later. I then bounced on to other how to's. Cool stuff! Great site! Thanks!Have you pictures of your layout? I'd like to see more! p.s. I had a little success today at finding some HO scale figures. I work in paper mache, and was working on a box. Since looking at dioramas and model railroads, I've decided to turn this into a mini-diorama and still keep it a box. The scene is a Muslim Mosque in Malaysia. This is based on a real place, from photos I've seen of it. So, to add a little bit of scale (it's still a characature, because I had no intention of scaling it), I went to Walther's and found a HO scale Indian woman in a sarong! BOY WAS I HAPPY! I also found an elephant in HO scale. Two of these women + the elephant was only $8 + shipping. So, I've calmed down a bit. [:D]Paper mache is great medium for modleing lots of things for railroading. You can make buildings, trees, rocks, cactus, fence, weathered board, and lots and lots of things, perhaps even carriage models. Today, I've modeled trunks for palm trees. Paper mache save you some money, but it's time costly. If anyone shows any interest in learning more, I'll start a thread about how to do it right so that your creations will last a long time. Just holler. [:)]
