just gettin started
Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, November 29, 2003 2:05 PM
Hello, my name is Richard Bishop, I'm 23 , from southern WV. I am stocked up, and ready to start building for my southern coalfields CSX n scale layout. I have a brain fart now, I'm not sure about what is best for benchwork, and what I can use as a base to carve and to manipulate the terrain for tunnels , bridges, roads and creeks on my layout. There are so many help books out there, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on the best learning book to get. I have built flat table sets before, but I want to put some time into this one. I would like to have realistic operations, I have a 12' x 7' room, not including joining walk in closet for staging or whatnot. If anyone has any suggestions on the best scenery,or bench work books to get, please write back. And if anyone has suggestions on exactly what is the best part to get started on first, let me know. THANX Bishop
