    diameter of typical harbor pilings

    I do hAve some 90 foot barges. As long 1/8” piles don’t look cartoonish, I’m fine. I’m modeling a once robust Harbor that is less profitable now. With the depression and WW II in the rear view mirror, the town is trying to find its way again to profitability in the post-war rising economy...

    CORRUGATED METAL.

    Geat idea, I’ll look into it. I wonder if it will be oversized for Ho scale. I just recalled that Clever Models and Evan designs sell printed-on-paper corrugated metal which fool the eye rather well…. Thanks for the input!

    Adding signs to structures

    I am, familiar with sanding the back of paper ads to better blend them into structure walls.... has anyone tried printing to onion skin, tracing paper, Tegujo or rice paper? I am thinking that of these, the most likely candidate is tracing paper.......what say you?
