Yes, I built the bill boxes myself, using 1" square wood rods and 1/8" plywood.------------------------------------------- Also, I got my new camera, a Canon SX1! It takes DSLR-quality photos for half the price (although you can't change lenses) plus HD video, but only goes up to F/8. I'm still deciding whether this is the right camera for me (it was over $500 and I've been saving up for it for almost a year, so it's not a light decision...) so one of the requirements I've been testing is if the camera is able to take model photos with a deep depth of field. Obviously F/8 isn't enough, so I used Adobe Photoshop 6 to manually stitch three different photos with different focus points together. I'm still getting the hang of it, and I've learned that I need more than three photos, so there's a couple spots that are still out of focus, but I think it'll work! This only took me about 10 minutes to create, and yes, Photobucket mangled it when uploading so now the whole thing looks out of focus! [banghead]The three focus points (I was using manual focus, so it's not exact) were the ballast in front of the train, the locomotive cab, and that building being torn down in the background. Check out the new ballast - I used over a gallon to ballast the entire seven track yard! [IMG]http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee261/TrainManTy/IMG_0058.jpg[/IMG]
