jbelwood Posted April 23, 2019 #1 Posted April 23, 2019 I don't know if this allowed as it comes from another (model railroad) forum. Some of you have shown interest in this subject so I thought I would share this with you. Several maritime shots included. http://www.railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=51664&whichpage=1 John Baker, Ryland Craze, Papa and 4 others 7

jud Posted April 23, 2019 #5 Posted April 23, 2019 What a setup. Nice "B" Model Mack pulling the lowboy. Depicts an era not so long ago, many around who remember such scenes when they were kids. That setup is worthy of protection and longevity, is that in the plans? popeye the sailor, Canute, vossiewulf and 1 other 4
Thistle17 Posted April 23, 2019 #6 Posted April 23, 2019 Well John there are so many dimensions to your layout one could take any sub section or picture and spend so much time in wonder and awe. Model railroading requires so many skills to recreate the very authentic scenes and settings. They truly are priceless. In studying just a few one quickly realizes that your depictions stem from an incredible imagination and determination to create realism. You are gifted!

vossiewulf Posted April 23, 2019 #7 Posted April 23, 2019 Agree with Joe, lots of very good workmanship there from the research required, to building out all the details, to all of the many finishing and painting skills needed to produce highly realistic weathered surfaces of all kinds as you have done. That's very much worth showing off popeye the sailor, Canute and mtaylor 3 Building HM Cutter Lady Nelson 1:64
