Weekly Modeling Photo Challenge "Roads" Ends Sunday, November 21st We're back and ready for action! I want to see your modeled roads this week! *Please read all rules as they may have changed from previous weeks* If you notice a typo, error, or confusing statement, please notify user Mark Watson immediately for correction and clarification. Modeling Photo Challenge Topic: "Roads" 1. Challenges are open to everyone, have fun!! 2. The entry deadline is Midnight (UTC -11), Sunday, November 21st. Late entries will be accepted up until the official "Time's up!" post within the thread. 3. For photos to be eligible they must be taken between Monday, November 15thand Sunday, November 21st. Please use the challenge as a motivation to take a new photographs! 4. Any posts with images taken before the commencement of the challenge will not be included in the poll and may be moved to the cutting room floor thread. - Ensure dates and times on your camera are correct. - 5. Only one image per participant so please choose the image carefully. 6. Though realism is popular among voters, it is not required. Any image or snap shot related to the topic is acceptable! 7. Though not required, commenting on other peoples pictures is encouraged. 8. Please use the Cutting Room Floor thread for related but ineligible images. 9. A clever and distinctive title for your image helps identify it among voters. (And makes it easier for me when posting the poll ) 10. Photo editing and enhancing is perfectly acceptable and even encouraged, however the subject and focal point must remain that of a physical model. On November 22nd, all entries will be put up for a public vote, in which all members of TrainBoard may vote for their favorite entry(s), regardless of whether you submitted an entry or not. Voting will last 4 days. You may vote for multiple entries. To do this, you must select all entries for which you wish to vote at once, and then click the submit button.
OK I'll throw my hat in for first entry. Here's an updated shot of Main Street in the town of Glacier lake. Brian
Thanks Mark, I just used a ruler and a paint pen. I was pretty happy with the results when I used this technique on mat board as in this photo. Sadly it doesn't work near as good on my newer - foam covered in plaster - roads. I'm still experimenting on a way to do those. Brian
I had to scramble to finish what was a half done crossing...it's all I have on the entire layout. I even had to scratch a cross buck.
We'd all love to see it! Plus, throwing at least something together would be great practice for our next modeling challenge. I wonder what could be in store then.... :zip:
Crew Change at Crescent An elderly Geep eases a manifest to stop at Gross Dam Rd's crossing, for a crew change at last light. The GMC Suburban is brand new for this 1982 photo:
Hemi, you have to stop showing me those Rio Grande locos! Every time I see a shot of those on your layout I instantly want one myself! Beautiful photo!
An N scale '48 Kaiser and a '50 Chevy pull out on to the main highway, with the Springfield local switching in the background.
Awesome photo Rasputen! There's just so much fun stuff going on to pull the eye to, yet the scene itself isn't cluttered at all!
SD&AE "Postcard" I don't have much for roads in my desert layout, but there is that dirt road that parallels the mainline. I took this photo and edited it to look like an old postcard, and the smoke, sky, and mountains are all digitally added.
On the road to ... ? I just wanted to get out of town for the weekend. Instead, I've been sitting in this spot for an hour (OK, maybe 5 minutes), waiting on this STUPID train to get outta the way. This is all I could come up with. With the layout in mid-demolition, I didn't have many options... :tb-embarrassed:
