    Candy, that's an interesting perspective to creating a scene. Definitely a far more realistic result than I, and possibly many others create using the helicopter/drone perspective. The well worn axiom, "the devil is in the details", is adapted for your case: The Angel is in the Details. :cool:

    Raleigh, NC had their scale model show this weekend. My favorite club in Raleigh is the "Sipping and Switching Society of North Carolina". They have a fairly large and sharp modular layout. The 2nd photo is of a couple of engine shells someone modeled as heading for the scrap heap. Not a bad idea for those dang shells I have laying around from various projects that went wrong for whatever reason. They had these coupled together and actually rolling out of the yard.

    Took quite a few pictures this morning while over there... awesome layout and worth "Googling" to check them out for those so inclined.

    Here are a few progress images of the spot I have been working on for the last week or so,
    this is how it looked after the installation of rock castings.

    Then some back drops painted, hey don't laugh, I never said I was any good at painting, or anything else for that matter LOL. It is evident I am self taught.

    Tom, you've done an amazing job with your cabin scene, and the surrounding area for that matter.

    I'll agree with that completely. Didn't see the photos until I was exiting last night, but the scene is outstanding in all respects.

    Must be my "feminine" side, as I always put the lid back on. Well, actually that is because if I did not, even when empty the too many local improperly supervised dogs and area wildlife would be checking it out, and at least tip it over.... :)

    I always put the lid back on.....so it doesn't get lost, and if it isn't there I know to look for it!!
