I was just looking at the Bar Mills site and they had a link to this video. It's an interesting combination of animation and HO scale models - watch out for the visual puns

Hoping to make it look like this.

Great stuff everybody,

It's been a while since I contributed to this thread, busy taking exams to be a registred architect.

We are actually working like crazy to complete the basic scenery of the peninsula depicting the famous (a little bit) Murray Bay subdivision.

First - Cap Tourmente blasted rock tunnel:

Second - A train running throught a marsh and crossing Sault-aux-Cochons (Pig's River) brooke.

Third - A C424 on Sault-aux-Cochons' bridge :

Fourth - Wolfe's Cove tunnel and Esso oil terminal (Sillery):

Fifth - CPR Wolfe's Cove's tunnel and Canada Cement loading/unloading facility (scratchbuilt):

Sixth: A pair of Bowser C630M freshly arrived. Atlas station has been replaced by a prototypical QRL&PCo Hedleyville Station:

I was looking for another project on the Boothbay RR Village layout when I noticed an undeveloped area in the fishing village next to the main line, and bounded by the depot, the boat yard and the harbor. I also found an old Woodland Scenics Memorial Park kit among the donated items, and the Fisherman's Memorial Park was born. To fit the small space I had to do some selective compression on the kit, leaving off 2 tables and grills and the playground equipment. I added figures from our collection and a Bar Mills Insta-fence around it.

Been going crazy with the GIMP:

At least playing with the 20 kabillion settings in GIMP is slightly more productive than "Angry Birds."
