Good evening everyone, This has been a marathon weekend for me - mostly doing scenery and "water". Still have a lot to learn about both. Ryan - You wanted to see some pix of my styrene "asphalt" road segment? Well, here are a few; I was going to include a view of the unpainted underside also, but with direct sunlight, there was so much glare that even my 'dimming' software couldn't fix it. The first shot is the entire strip: [IMG]http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e182/CSX_road_slug/scenery_and_water/asphalt_strip_01.jpg[/IMG] The next is a close-up. Those little black specks are supposed to be tar that was poured into the cracks by maintenance crews: [IMG]http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e182/CSX_road_slug/scenery_and_water/asphalt_strip_02.jpg[/IMG] Here is where I used it, with a secondhand 7-Eleven store a friend gave me. I still haven't thought up a name for this location yet... [IMG]http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e182/CSX_road_slug/scenery_and_water/nameless_junction_01.jpg[/IMG] A broader view. I wanted to emphasize the highway "disappearing" behind the trees via forced perspective: [IMG]http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e182/CSX_road_slug/scenery_and_water/nameless_junction_02.jpg[/IMG] I also spent some time experimenting with WS EZ-water. Bethel Creek is another area where I wanted to setup a "perspective" view to make it appear as if the riverbed curves off to the left under the bridge, and on into the distance: [IMG]http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e182/CSX_road_slug/scenery_and_water/bethel_creek_03.jpg[/IMG] . . . Well that's it from me, for now. 5AM comes mighty early. G'nite![|)]
