That is some very nice work! Love the guy checking his mailbox and the dog on the porch. The Frisco Trans truck and trailer - outstanding. An excellent farmyard scene .. structures,fencing, and animals. Thanks for posting.
I forgot to mention how well your backdrop completes the scene. It really makes your scenes stand out as among the best. It blends well without being obvious.
Sherrel, I hope you noticed the tire swing in the tree! I am going to put a child in it that way it will stand out!
Really nice work, and love that barn. Shows some age, but kept up pretty good. Wear on the side door, few boards missing, and is that a owl sitting up there on the top left?
Very nicely done. Angle the structures to help them standout and the photo backdrop completes the scene. Very nice indeed.
Gee! I went down the basement and looked, I think it flew away! LOL Just a reflection from a side window opening.
great stuff John, Looks like you have been busy Backdrops structures and scenery are really top notch stuff. Tried to email you but my service has had some interruptions. Thanks for posting!!
I would live the house in the first photo in a heartbeat, but I think my wife would leave me. Nice work. Steve
I REALLY like the FTC trailer! They used to be all over Friscoland. After their running life was over, several businesses around Springfield used those trailers for storage. Even if you model the late Frisco era, the yellow trailers wouldn't be out of place at least as storage sheds. Tom
I sure did notice that and meant to include it, but hit the post button before proof reading. Now, you need to get one of those old metal slides near the swing. All just very nice modeling .. Keep it up.
Really nice modeling, the guy must be a Bridge Foreman. Nice crossing and plenty of white rock. The FTC Trailer is a nice touch, I would like to see a photo of one of those tied down on a flat. They was a little early for TOFC, but seen lots of local service. right though, in the latter Frisco they was storage.William Jackson
Here I used fake fur (per Jim James method) on a vacant spot in which I was going to put a pre-fab building. The fur is a leopard type which has brown spots that resembles a patch of dirt that grass has not grown there. Fur was golden color, I painted a pale green with a stiff artist brush using upward strokes. Next time I'll use an airbrush!
That turned out great! You've taken the method up a notch and created a very realistic look. Keep going.
