Just to catch up faster, Im going to hog one more in today.
My bedroom mico (0-20ish hand bent) also got a backdrop.
First draft was too real. I wanted as simple a look here as possible. Solid blocks of bright color.
So I put the paint away, and broke out some construction paper.
I liked it, but I seemed near too familiar. Like Deja Vu.
Later, I realised I had unintentionally plagiarized the style of something famous and renamed they layout to honor my inspirational mentors....muses?...?¿?... unintentional...?¿?
I love the show now, but only after I listened to it vs watched it. Because of the art, I couldn't take it seriously enough to listen deep while watching it... But now I'm doing it too, lol... If you guys dont like it "Im going home" "nmfrnkitslldmn" ("before I get killed") 
Is that ...a baby Mega-Barbera-Lizard?
You know Mitch, I nearly gifted you my baby brothers giraffe. But there is a crane company I recalled that used a giraffe in the signage. I can't yet recall clearly if the neck was an truss boom, telescoping cylindrical or what, but the head was "up there". As soon as the loose screw falls off that gear in my head and I remember it clearly I might adopt him out. Do you already have his bloodline in your stable? It is a good bloodline, but He is also so old his tail is bent. And it is so skinny at the end, it looks like it should have fallen off about 76 when the " Poodle bites; poodle chews it" happened.
Today I sold a vintage one wheeled Allstate trailer, and gave the guy a grand tour of the 7 layouts (ho operating display, 2micro O, 2 Sm, M, Lrg ceiling.) He took pictures asked questions and tried hard to buy a cast aluminum 2 sided image of the IRCRR #382 on a spike, a gas lamps horizontal post. The spike head was the base to connect to the tall upright post, and a family crest was hung from the spikes length while Casy Jones rode along the top.
I declined. But I could see him thinking about his kid and a Lionel. I think the kids reaction to the 7 videos being a good one is all its going to take before he calls again, lol.
With all they styles here, I couldn't have done much better to promote the hobby if I planned it. Everything working, with a few projects from simple to scale. New,PW,PrW, tin/ cast/ plastic, nice/crap, fast/slow, ac/dc, loading, switching, cowboys, giraffes, aliens, cartoons, rockets, military, race car, car show, Santa, firemen, hunting, builders, deliveries, park, smoke, lights, whistles, horns, bells, chuff, crewtalk, and even the dreaded "chalkboard car".(hotbox)
The kids is gotta like something, lol.
