My daughters are always leaving that stuff lying around from their ballet costumes. I never had a chance to actually do it so I didn't post. Looks like you beat me to it![:D] (Great work BTW) None of the work I did this week is worthy of a camera lens...[sigh] Edit Anonymous Member sinceApril 2003 305,205 posts Posted by Anonymous on Friday, June 24, 2005 8:38 PM Steve - Great looking paper mill! What did you use for the buildings?

I have been working on a foliage covered backdrop wall for one side of my layout. It is just a wood frame, which I covered with plaster to give it some shape. I am now in the process of putting on some plaster rock molds, and attaching the foliage. Here are a couple of pics of the progress.

[;)] Your embankments are excellent !!! I can already see that they will look great once you've finished sceniking. Keep up the great work, and, for the love of the gods, keep posting pictures.

Quite simply, the better the photograph, the more money you will get. I would also trade on your reputaion. Custom Weathered CR 50' Hi-cubes by Aggro Jones! And spread the auctions apart. Some people have really good things they put close together such that if they win one, they can't even bid on the others. Keep everyone in the game. Allow the guy who want the whole set to bid high to get them all. Chip Building the Rock Ridge Railroad with the slowest construction crew west of the Pecos.
