Very nice scene!
thats it? I want my money back! (as in more pictures)
yeah, I suppose I can take a few more… I’ll get on that.

Nice job, how did you color the rock faces? I am finishing some rock faces and almost at the point of coloring a small section on my recently started layout. I do not have an airbrush. On a previous layout, 13 years ago, I used Pactra earth colored spray paint that I have been unable to find now. Any technique help appreciated.
I like the garden scene, nice contrast with that and the train. I am big into intermodal and run a rather sizable one on my not too big layout… would love to try a roadrailer.
Woodland scenics pigments work just fine, although can get expensive if you have a lot of rock. Try some diluted burnt umber and a little diluted yellow ochre for an earthy tone and finish with a wash of black to make the cracks stand out.
nice work !
but it seems to me that the green vehicle (no idea what it’s called) is much larger than would be needed in this size and type of garden
there , that’s my nit-picking for the year . don’t take it too seriously [:)]
