Andy

Your explanation makes a lot of sense thank you for taking the time to explain your process and provide a layout concept. I am also glad to hear that I have 10 more years of layout progress to watch. I was worried it was coming to an end.

I am with Steve I am going to need to refill the popcorn Popcornbeer

Sorry for the wait Chris, I did get the Masonite for the rest of the backdrop cut last weekend. I have to paint it and glue it to the wall. Then I will be able to make more progress.

The clouds on the backdrop are very well done.

I read again this thread, you've got an Interesting way to build a layout by phase.

Re: Milwaukee Road in Wisconsin, 1950's - ak-milw - 07-19-2015

Thanks Reinhart, I cut stencils out of cardboard and use flat white spray paint.

Matt, it's just the way I have always done it.
