I guess it's time to lower the bar...  Blindfold [X-)]

Scenes of demolition on my layout:

I'm starting a major makeover project.  All the scenery is being redone and a new (larger) yard put in.  I hope to utilize several new scenery techniques I've learned over the years since I first built this layout.

Ditto that, great work by Jarrell and Grampy. Jarrell's might be one of those prints people pay big bucks for.

This week I completed some pickup trucks for my Boothbay RR club layout. They are the LL Scenemaster 50s pickups.

The first pair were repainted for MEC, and probably will be around the roundhouse and serviceing facility

The second are for the Dragon Cement plant and quarry. The more dirty one is a lube truck for quarry equipment.

Hi Jarrell: That is an outstanding scene and great photography. Not much from me this week.  Just the shop guys doing some cutting and welding and a shark in the shop.

Wow Jarrell What a great photo of some beautiful steam in the early morning

I'd be putting a bumper on the end of those tracks to keep that beauty out of the ditch .

 

Nice Work ! Bow [bow]

Ahh... Let the fun begin!  I always enjoy this thread because I get to see some good photography and great layout work and other new stuff.  The idea behind the picture below was that I wanted to try to create an early morning scene, just as the sun came up somewhere in the Appalachian mountains of the eastern U.S., maybe in the 1940s.  Steam effects added with software because I've heard so much about what the real stuff can do to your layout.

Click on photo to enlarge

For the photo buffs, lighting provided by a large-ish strobe with a soft box attached to simulate the lighting that you see.  A white card was place off camera left to bounce fill light into shadows.  Sigma 15-30mm lens @ 30mm, f/29 @ 1/160th sec. Nikon D100.  Auto wb, raw format.

'nough of that!  Smile [:)]
