Freelance Modeling.

[ezdays]

Please do not post anything in yellow, which is almost impossible for many of us to see. Use bold, or red or some other brightly contrasting color, and when quoting use the name of the person you are quoting to denote authorship.

Your railroad is not, in fact, a "fantasy railroad" but a "freelance" - they are worlds apart.

The definition of fantasy lies in "who is making the rules"? You, or are you following established practice and merely creating a fictitious backstory and railroad to match? If the latter, that's freelancing.

Just reading though this thread kind of makes me wonder if we've not gone overboard on "what is" or "what could be". Pete showed us some fantasy things that he modeled, and he does a fine job with everything he models. fantasy modeling is fantasy modeling, regardless of whether it be train, planes or automobiles. His railroad could be fantasy or freelance, it's all in his head and can then be what he wants. We don't need to get in a war of semantics, this is, as you've pointed out before, a hobby. Hobbies are for fun and relaxation, and we need to get back to that concept sometimes.

As far as yellow on a white background, I agree, but I don't see any yellow. His emphasis is in red. If you're seeing yellow, I wonder if the style you're using isn't changing something. Let me know what you see below for color:

RED (color=#FF0000)
YELLOW (color=#FFFF00)
GREEN (color=#008000)
