Back in the 1950s, Sugar Land was still a company town. Imperial Sugar owned all the buildings and either leased them to other businesses or owned them outright. From left to right is a dry cleaners, meat market with a vegetable stand on the side, bakery/cafe/barber shop and the company owned General Mercantile. All modeled here on an NTRAK module. The company paid its employees with its own script that all businesses would accept for payment of goods and services.
Russell and Bob, that is some nice modelling. I like the lighting and perspectives. Below, a H6 Mikado hoghead ponders his next move. He is assigned the consist to his front.
Excellent photos guys, River I love your magazine covers and am thinking of how we can take advantage of them on the site, any ideas??? Here is an old shot but I posted to highlight our new photo modelling challenge which has commenced. The first photo subject is bridge, good luck to all those who participate 72 Hour photo modelling challenge
SNFF 2007 05 25 Here's my shots for the week. I think the approximate size of this model is HO. A German member of our forum emailed me and told me the following is a model of the Müngstener bridge between cities Solingen and Remscheid in Germany (he is from Solingen : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solingen ). Thx for the input, Harald! Have a great Memorial Day Weekend!
Have to think about that one, I might begin posting it as a seperate thread with links to the topics on the cover, instead of just a pic in the weekly photo thread. maybe one of the contest catagories, setting up and framing a shot for a cover type pic is a little different from the shots we normally shoot. If anyone else would like to have a go at it, I have several more pics ready to go as covers, or use one of your own, just let me know so we don't double up in the same week. Picking the topics and taglines, is by far the hardest part, for me anyway. or if someone wanted to pick the topics, I could do the cover setup. my used and unused covers are here; http://s46.photobucket.com/albums/f123/river_eagle/covers/ enjoy!!!
almost forgot latest project off the workbench!! the real question is, am I willing to do about 118 more of these?
A Humble Contribution Well, no where as good as you guys, but I'm proud of er anyhow. My kitbashed Bachmann UPD & G Coach #142. John
Hello all, Is my calendar broken (running fast?) or did I miss something with the date of the thread title? Being a new guy, I may just be slow.... MARCH? Great Pictures, by the way.... Dan
Nah, mine is just broken. Time goes too fast when you get old so you do everything you can to slow it down.
Excellent photos everyone - that bridge under construction is inspiring. Here are a few recent ones from me and an older one before the weeds took hold Jon
The Farmer's Market is open this Memorial Day Weekend... so it gets a little congested Managed a little more work on the truck load...still need some weathering and strapping..:shade: :shade:
Doyle Bond built this cotton gin some time ago for the SAMRA H0 scale layout. Here he has added figures and vehicles. Cotton bales are scratch built. Not bad, Doyle! :thumbs_up:
Great photos, all! Here's a 2nd contribution for this week. A still life artistic photo, entitled "Happiness":
