After the pics are small comments, shared by me BTW, I'm grinning like a fool, thinking that it almost appears like you've made a mountain of a mole hill.

Good work though!!!![:D]

Hey, nice job, Adam! I'm with the other guys, though, I'd like bigger pictures. Especially the camp on the mountainside--would like to see how you did it in detail. But that's some really nice color and texture you've got. Keep it up!

If the picture is small when you copy the PROPERTIES/ADDRESS (URL), they will be small here. Double-click the photo so it's large on your website, then do the copy. The ADDRESS (URL) will be different, and the picture will post bigger. What-you-see-is-what-you-get

Thanks for the larger pics, Adam--like the camping scene. How'd you do the tents,BTW. Are they commercial or did you do them yourself? Keep up the good work.

I wish I saw this sooner. It looks really good so far Adam. I wish I could start my layout. So, when can I come over to see it in person?
