    This is looking very nice, Mike. Love that little HH600 too.

    Here is what I have been doing lately. I have a good start to the backdrop on the right hand wall.

    No it is all commercial Instant Horrizons except for a couple small hills behind the farthest away buildings.
    Thanks , Mike

    Somehow I missed video #3. it looks like you are up and running. Have you done any switching yet, or are you waiting for more completion before doing that?

    Hi Mike,
    Been a while since I checked out this thread. Nice job of blending the retaining wall, backdrop, and flats. Nice feeling of depth.

    Thanks Tom , I have been trying to get out there to put in some foliage but buildings keep me at the bench.

    Here is a Walthers kit I have been working on for the layout. All I need to do is install the side steps and name the building. It will likely be the Miricle Furniture Company whode slogan is "If it's a great peice of furniture, It's a Miricle".

    I like that business slogan! Very creative. Can't wait to find out what you dream up next.

    I really like how your backdrop and that tunnel/retaining wall areas blend so nicely. Is any of the greenery hand painted? Or is it completely an added scene? BTW- Neat special effect with those birds in the sky...

    Thanks BC , I did also touch up some of the greens in the two combined printed backdrops there. The birds were done with a Sharpie.

    Thanks , Mike
