John, like your cabin in the woods....Scratch build?   Did you finish interior too?    Nice work.

 

Thanks!  Yes, it's scratchbuilt.  No interior.  I'm not that good!

On these projects lately, I'm reconsidering changing scales.  At my age, building these small N Scale buildings is a real challenge.  I enjoy it, but I could do better with a larger scale.

Toad: That was a great picture. The point of view and depth of field are both really good. Nice modeling work too.

TF: Good luck on the hunt for appropriate N scale dry transfers.

Ed: Is that a whispy ghost on the left?

This was a great Weekend Photo Fun, thank you to everybody for your participation.

In my "youthful" days of railroading, Kevin, steam heat was de rigueur and had a romantic atmosphere all its own.

Any time I can replicate that, Photoshop or not, I like to include it into a photo.

These days of screaming diesel HEP units cranking out megawatts of 480-3Ø just don't have the same allure that the aroma and atmosphere of good old-fashioned Vapor Safety steam heating had.

Thanks for asking Wink  Ed

I figured it was steam, just at first glance it resembled an ethereal spirit.
