Thanks

I think I have an X-acto chisel blade - I got a complete X-acto set as part of my art stipend when taking art classes at a local college.

I think I will consider the Testors with a brush. I did'nt have that before, and it was so sloppy.

As you can see, this is a complete learning experience for me, and I'm not afraid to ask for help if I need it. I will listen to all ideas and suggestions, and incorporate them as my skill level permits. And I'm always looking to improve. I'm a beginner, and take no shame in admitting it. That's why I came to forums like this one, to learn. I also visit my friends in the Durand Union Station Model Railroad Engineers, to see what they do and ask questions. I am considering joining them now that I'm done with class and am running a business.
 
Thanks for your encouragement and help

I have worked very hard on my first layout, which is still under construction. I have learned a lot from all of you, and hope to learn more as I go along. I try to treat this as a journey, not a destination. Michael Gross of Family Ties fame, the narrator for the World's Greatest Hobby video, suggested taking that kind of attitude.

I hope to put it up somewhere where everyone can see it so it can be enjoyed by all. I would also like the folks at Worlds Greatest Hobby and Model Railroader Magazine to see it. I have talked to the representatives from that magazine, and they have expressed interest in having me write a story on my layout for their magazine. There's still quite a bit of work before I can do that. But thanks again to everyone for your help and encouragement.
 


Larry, looks like you're coming right along. That Worthington Hotel was the worst kit I ever built. It looks yours came out well. One suggestion I'd make is to plant a few green trees in your fall scenes. You really never see every tree in color until many of the others have dropped their leaves.

I know it didn't show up very well, but I did plant one green tree, and may want to plant a couple of more to mix things up a bit. I agree wholeheartedly with your suggestion.
