Good things come in narrow packages

[Steve]

Thanks guys for the encouraging words!

There's a guy out there who goes by "INRAIL" I think. He models the Pennsy in Indiana on narrow shelves and paints incredible fade to the horizon back drop road scenes. If I come across him again I'll link it up. It takes some sharp drawing and painting skills, but judging by you're work here, I'm sure you'll come up with something good.

I am very familiar with his masterful work:

His layout is quite a bit deeper than mine........and did I mention that he has more talent in his little finger, than I have in my entire body   :cry:  sad, but true     .  I have tried a few experiments that would try and duplicate his results, but as of yet, I haven't liked any of my results. Here was an early try:



The problem came when you saw the scene in person....the angles were way off and weren't even remotely believable. I am not saying that it isn't doable, I just haven't been able to, though I have to admit, I haven't spent too much time trying yet either.

I did finish my track bumpers though    so I guess that is progress of some kind....I'll post a pic when I get some planted.
