And the Envelope, please !!!

All great threads for newbies and experienced modelers alike !! I am amazed at how many people add to this when it is at the top of the forum and not sitting on page 44 or higher. If there was an archive or sticky ability on the forum it would be a big help!!!

this is a method for making grass, like those fine grass things they sell down at your LHS. Please note, it is in the layout and layout building forum, not the general discussion, the one we are in now.

that is all i have to say for now.

enough of the "BUMP". it take twice as long to read this topic as many of the posts are "BUMP". just edit your previous post (you don't even need to change anything) and this topic will bump to the top.

Aggro, great idea! How about having an index by topics at the trains page, from where you could acces these threads.
