    Today I played Hookey! After working on my module, I decided to take in some sunlight, and

    thought it was perfect for photos.

    So I setup the module in the backyard and took some pictures, eye candy if you will:

    And the last one, a place I wish I was. We build our models dreaming of what it would be like

    to be part of the scene, so I place myself here today:

    And to think.......you're bring these modules up to Medford in two weeks to blow the N scale guys away......Wow, I am going to watch their eyes closely and see if they pop out of their heads or just glaze over when they realize that Z can be so stunning.

    See you in two weeks.

    BTW, Holly has 3344 ready to roll for you guys over at TM. You bringing your head shot video camera again or a real camera this time....... Ha Ha

    Thanks for the kind words guys! Yes, I am getting ready to attend my first National N Scale Convention. Loren invited us up to setup some Z Scale modules, and join in their fun, and as an added bonus we get to ride trains with his brother at the Train Mountain Triennial!

    It's gonna be fun! :D

    Beautiful work and photography.

    I had the honor of seeing some of Robert's modules in person a few years ago. It's what the photos show, and more...

    Dang Robert! That is neat as all get out. The weathered cars, the static grass, and the large factory, integrated together to make such a real scene!

    Robert, laser designing IS my "day job" and I can't do what you do!!!! So, since playing hookie won't do much for me like it does for you I will work and not take days off and maybe when I hit 100 I might actually catch up to you :D
