    Nifty tutorial about bricks and stone

    Primarily, this would be used if you do not want a flat printed surface, but a true 3 dimensional texture. I know it is easier to print something, but if you want to be more of a perfectionist this is a better way to do masonry if the scale is appropriate to show the detail. There is a...

    Nifty tutorial about bricks and stone

    They sure did. I am sure you could use a paper cutter to speed it up. I was thinking you could use this to make bridge abutments. Instead of buying a pre-made one or molding one, you could simply build the basic shape out of wood and then glue on the "stones". Then give it a color wash and...

    Nifty tutorial about bricks and stone

    Well, I haven't posted in a while. Seems I have gotten side tracked (no pun intended). I have to finish a dollhouse miniature for my daughters so the layout is on hold, but due to the dollhouse ladies over at the Greenleaf forums, someone pointed out this excellent tutorial on how to make...

    How perfectly dry do we need to be?

    If this is the case, how do the G scale outdoor layouts get away with being however humid it might be that day and also endure rain, sleet, and snow, and even ice?

    I have to design a 4 x 8 O, N, HO Scale Layout by Monday

    Sounds like a fun and challenging opportunity there. I wouldn't want the pressure to come up with something to showcase what is best for an LHS owner when the hobby is so versatile (thats just me) Anyway, keep us updated on your decision, plans, and future work.

    Model this!

    If I'm not mistaken, that is the salvage/scrap yard. I grew up in Florida and my dad owned a garage. We hauled many cars there for scrap behind the wrecker. His garage was right along the right of way for the FEC.

    Benchwork progress

    Maybe future issues of Model Railroader magazine and membership to the NMRA will include a standard prenuptial agreement as part of the price, just for the benefit of new unmarried members.

    Benchwork progress

    Nothing like the smell of sawdust in the morning :eek: It isn't much yet. I starting building some support structure as I am doing some design work on the actual track plan. It seems the research and consideration is harder to do than actually building the the benchwork. Here...
