[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by tstage I'm talking like the mundane, everyday, as-you-walk-around kind of observations. I find myself starring at things I never really considered before. Tom [/quote] That's a big part of the "art" of model railroading. Some people get it some don't. Check out grassed areas anywhere - there are varying shades of green and other colors, the same when looking at a forested area - you'd be amazed at the different shades out there. Yet some modelers don't observe - on their layouts the grass is all one uniform color green, looks more like a pool table than nature. The same with trees - all one boring color green. Most everywhere where there is dirt, things will grow - weeds, grass, bushes, trees, etc. Only where man trespasses will there be paths, clearings etc. So if you're adding a grassy field, lawn, or field area on your layout vary the colors of the foliage and trees. Look around and copy nature. [:D] Bob Boudreau
