A few oldies that I've posted before that I like, for one reason or another.  Cheers.

 This was just a quick shot on an uncompleted test layout section, but there's something about it I like. Hope you feel the same!

 

I'm trying to model 1956, not live in it.

A beauty!  Was a star filter used over the camera lens?

Edit.

Actually no.  The hexagon stars are internal reflections in the lens with the long exposure (about 30 seconds I believe).  Notice there are no "stars" on the rail reflections. end edit.

I also had a constellation star pattern on the wall behind it but the "stars" were bright enough to show.    The thing that ruins the photo for me is the "sky" showing through the upper windows of the building.   I need to go back and put a black background behind them, or maybe even better finish some interior and put some of the lights on in some of the windows.

A recent picture, the background and tipple area have been "shopped". The tipple area is still painted plaster cloth with a little ground texture here and there, I made this to view how it will basically look when completed. The tipple are will have wood cribbing below and behind it, and there are many trees, bushes, rock and grasses to add as well.

 This is one of my favorite pictures. It shows my scratch built station at my Diamond Valley module.
