Stunning work, absolutely beautiful.

This one stopped me mid-scroll. There are so many things that are "right" about this scene I don't know where to begin. Bravo!

Thanks guys for the very kind comments about my photo. Pouring and levelling the water was nerve-wracking but I'm very happy with the way it turned out. I had planned to give it one more coat but I didn't want to push my luck.

Mike the pour on that water is great, you did right by stopping while you were ahead.
alco's forever!!!!! Majoring in HO scale Minorig in O scale:)
All I can say is WOW!! Incredible pictures by everyone! I don't know how you guys accomplish this, it's just amazing modeling!!

Mike (LH) - I echo everyone else's sentiments on your photo. That's the most realistic-looking Preiser figure I ever seen - I can even make out the separate colors of his sneakers! Did you hand-paint it yourself, or did it come that way from the factory?
[BTW - thanx for the kind words about my 2nd photo!]

Thanks Ken. I painted it myself with cheap acrylics. They don't adhere too well, and I've had to do it several times in the past couple of years. The paint would still have been tacky when I took that photo. It doesn't look good up close!
Wonderful images, and thanks for resurrecting this kind of thread. I contribute a couple of pics that I like for some reason or other - oddly enough they are very simple in composition. Cheers.

G'day Mike,
I'll add my 2c worth. Fantastic realism. No need to go any further with the water...or anything else for that matter!
Next time I'm up north I'd love to pay a visit. Sensational outcome. Is it on a module or fixed part of a layout?
Cheers,
Roscoe
Thanks Roscoe you'd be welcome! It's on my new shelf layout 14x9 ft.
Mike,
It really is amazing how realistic it looks. Your backdrop has a lot to do with that; please tell me about it.
Great work!
Phil, I'm not a rocket scientist; they are my students.
I have always like this scene since it reminds of the early Chessie days..In this case it appears to be located on the B&O.
Actually,this is the DM yard diesel house area on the Bucyrus club's layout.

Phil the backdrop is pretty basic - just a temporary thing. I'll open a new thread about it if you like, rather than hijacking this one.

Nice shot. Looks like the person and dogs are real and photoshopped in.

Looks good Ken, now onto the outdoor grass area. I bet you can make that look just as nice. You should do a diner scene with a car show going on, you could have your cuda there winning he nights prize!
Great job to everyone. This is great to spur ideas in us all, keep em coming!!
I like to set up model scenes with steam engines and add a little Adobe Photoshop smoke.

This is off my old layout. I should of had the lights off on the AC6000. That layout is gone now so it cannot be redone.
At the time my wife was FHP, she has since transferred to another state agency. Anywho she really got a kick out of this scene.

Like this one, but it shows my bad ballast work.
This one looks pretty good as well.
Ken, I love that second pic, that is killer looking!
I only have one completed scene right now, but it turned out looking good. My new mountain scene will be done soon though.
Nice pics all.

Colorado_MacMotleyI only have one completed scene right now, but it turned out looking good. I have to agree! I was just there (the 1:1 version) and you captured it.
Really? Thanks, I appreciate that. I was just down there recently too, checking out the model RR layouts downstairs.
