Tetters, thank you!
Greg, believe it or not, I was in shorts and a T-shirt. It was actually very comfortable in the room without the heat on, and I do remember thinking about that very thing, why they didn't take their coats off. It was rainy and nasty outside, I suppose they were so engrossed in the layout and trains that they didn't have time to take off their jackets.
I would really enjoy a visit from you, so anytime you are ever down this way, you let me know. Also, bring Tetters with you!
Over the past few weeks, have been thinking about the backdrop, and of course, when you are involved in the conversation, backdrops just pop into my head. I ran across an article in an old MR that showed how to take slides and project them on the wall to sketch the trees and buildings and such, then it went into some detail how to do the paint. I am thinking that I can borrow a multi-media projector from work, and with a laptop, project beckground images on the walls and go from that. I'll use photos taken around the industrial areas here in Houston.
