I had an idea the other day. Some would say that's rare for me but I disagree. I work at a concert venue over the summer and during a concert last week I watched storm clouds roll in. It started with white puffy clouds and slowley turned to black clouds. I thought this would be a kewl thing to do as a backdrop. <br /> <br />Here's my idea... I model point to point so at one yard I would have blue skys and white clounds. At the other yard would be dark storm threatening clouds. In between I would transistion from clear to stormy. So as you would follow a train around the layout, you would either "outrun" the clouds or go towards the storm. It would also look neat if you modeled a couple of people looking up at the clouds with umbrellas in their hands. <br /> <br />Has anyone seen this done and if you have has it looked as good as it sounds. Or do you think that the concept would be lost on most people and or just not turn out right. <br />Andrew Miller
