Mark,
I thought of that long ago. I have glued a Coca Cola bottle to a table once or twice. The idea of a placemat that had plate and silverware on it sounded like something that could be made. Since the passenger cars are moving, I wonder how far to take the super-detailing before it has diminishing returns or effectiveness.
Started painting a car that arrived this afternoon. It is the Lionel 2027250 Amtrak Vista Vision Dome Car #9463. It is more difficult to paint because of the camera ribbon that is permanently connected (hopefully) from the Dome Camera to the electronics hidden in the Lower Lounge. The seats need at least two coats of tan paint. The desk by the stairs to the Dome and the front storage boxes need to be painted brown. Notice how easily the tan painted seats are seen compared to the unpainted seats.
I will continue to paint more Preiser 65602 Seated People for this car.
Have a good evening.
Sincerely, John Rowlen
