Wow the snow diorama looks real and cold!
What is used for the snow?
Great work here!
Really? It should appear automaticly.
Bapou: It's just an oil storage tank, not a well. The "prototype" is in New Hampshire, BTW.
EDIT: The snow is Paper-Mache and water. It's still wet, and the brass track is actually rusting and causing brown spots in the snow! I like to think of them as "Fuel Spils" from the locos!
Yes I knew that it was just a tank, I ment that Vermont Oil Co. would sound weird since there are no wells in Vt.
Edit Thanks Red Horse!
I hope it's not too late to get this in. I was impressed with the sepia pictures that Selector posted.I found that with my photo editing program I was able to do that and b&w. I the found that I could do this with a photo. It is an embossed look. Just thought it was something different.It's a SD70ACe-Bob

Haha with the price of gas today I doubt I would be able to afford to put even a small house cat in my tank!

My 64 GTO even had that little stuffed tiger tail sticking out of the gas door (remember those?) and I still have two of the pitchers that you got if you bought enough Esso gas. The glasses were all broken long ago.
Now that I think about it, I am not sure whether or not it had changed from Esso to Exxon at that point.

Actually its several washes, a little stippling, some bleeding, and lots of drybrushing. It just takes a really long time.
