Here's the back of the sawmill. Lots of switching going on whilst the two four legged friends take a drink. Paul
Paul, You never cease to amaze me! The loaded flat car with spit logs is very realistic! However, I got to ask, how did you spit them? Being its so realistic looking I'm going to say that wood is actual real wood and you either have a real steady hand with a exacto knife or a very expensive wood splitter! That is some real talet my friend! Keep up the great work!
Hi John, Thats real wood friend, cut up just like you said, with a craft knife. Took ages, but worth it in the end. Paul
Watash is quite right, here I am sitting in the Donkey engine, just watching the trains unloading. Great fun. Paul [ 25 June 2002, 17:55: Message edited by: Paul Templar ]
Good to see you at work on that donkey engine Paul. These scenes you come up are fantastic and with all these folks. They must really like the Badger Creek as a place to work and live. You must treat them well. Excellent modelling my friend
Paul, Thats one crafted hand you've got their! I know how those little things such as the loaded flat with split logs take time! You work 6 to 8 hours on something like that and when you look at your clock and what you've done, it sure doesn't look like you've done much till the scenes such as this one, shows just how much thought and work is done and was needed to get that kind of worth in the end! That one picture you took, made all that work you did to that one car worth the while! As always, I admire your work.. I got talet, yes I do, but still.. I'm no where close to the scenery skills you've got! I can detail the daylights outta a steamer, and even cars..but man. I aplaud you on your background/scenery work! Its fantasic! Keep up the great work!
A railroad shouldn't just tell a story. It should tell many stories, at every corner, in every nook and cranny. These little scenes should come together to tell the observer everything he/she wants to know about our miniature worlds. Paul, your railroad is an epic novel. Keep up the outstanding work. I am looking forward to seeing it in Great Model Railroads 200x.
