You appear to be off to a great start Aggro![:D] Keep up the good work! The only suggestion I can make at this time is to add a little foreground lighting. It will help bring out the truck and underframe detail for ya! I use clamp lights on an old tripod for portable lighting. (cheap!)
Keep it up, you are well on your way! [:D][:D][:D][:D]
BTW, I saw it is a 3.2 mp, but what manufacturer???
Hey Aggro,
Man, that’s some fine weathering. If you get a chance, drop me an email. Ive got about
a hundrend questions. I’m at a point where I’m ready to start weathering some of my rolling
stock. I just finished weatheing a bridge, and it came out pretty good, but nothing like your
freight cars. I haven’t gotten up the nerve to start weathering my Allegeny, so maybe you could
give me some tips, so I get it right the first time.
Thanks for posting the photos, I will be using them for reference. Dave
My current layout is coming to an end. [:(] But this is the new begining. Replacing this layout, is a larger around the walls style one with a duck-under. It will be built in my 9 x 11 bedroom. All my belongings will be rearranged to handle this, changing my life style again.
This layout is being disassembled right now. Please take a final look. 14 new photos added.
Lupo, yup. Since it had no back drop, the wall would just be showing. So I put a long mirror on there to add more distance. Sure it was a reflection, but it was better than looking at a gray wall!
I had never see a mirror used in this way, I saw small mirrors used at the end of a tunnel or underneath a bridge, but I think I gonna try that out in my own layout, only the reflection of the tracks in the picture gave away that it was a mirror, looking at the scenery it is almost invisible!
