ok...got about three more feet of trees to paint on the wall...and i hope i don't end up repainting them..everytime i do a layout I start with a backdrop..then have a brainstorm and make the layout a bit higher than my original plan and end up re-painting the tree line because the layout isn't proportional to the tree line...at least this time i painted the hills big enough to fudge a bit....a guy gets really good at paint'in trees when he does it over and over...but...that's what makes the hobby fun!....Chuck
