Pictures of your village

Still adding some more buildings before I do sidewalks, streets, etc...

Don - Just how did you pull off this wet look?????

Wood, I took a wide soft paint brush and dipped it in a bucket...are your ready for this...Water. These shots were set up for an article I did for OGR. They are all very long exposures. A minute to a minute and a half. I "painted" many of the lights like the head lights hitting the street with small moving flash lights. Lots of these shots took endless exposures tell I got it right. Kind of fun though. Don

very nice thread, all the towns look so great, and the wet look photo was worth it, it is jaw dropping realistic.

Sorry for the delay in posting photos, but just got back from the York Meet. Here you go.

One more than I have to get back to building my new layout. Don

My layouts have always been temporary Christmas Villages. Here's a few shots.

Big Crab Cake...  Tell me how wonderful this picture is???!!!  It opens your mind to all kinds of memories and places.  I think that is what modeling is all about. Very nicely done.

JoeyA - This is my favorite photo.  Great shot and lighting.  So nice to see the second floor lighted.  Thank you.

Brian, Thank you for posting.  For those of you who may not have had the opportunity to see this layout.  It is overwhelming.  Brian has a collection of village scenes that is striking, detailed and could take a full day plus just to see each section of it. 

Last one. I have pipes going inside the engine house from a smoke unit. Click to enlarge picture. Don

Don,

As always...great pics and a great layout.  I was lucky enough to see it in person.  I am looking forward to seeing your new one in a couple of weeks.  It is inspiring me to work on my layout.  Any of your layouts always look better with a cab or chardonnay!

Matt

Just remember Matt, walking into a room where hundreds of pounds of plaster mountains were and are being made is NO pretty site. Don

Thank you for your contributions Don. Inspiring work.  Smoke, signalman, workers on ladders, debris on the table, and lots of lights on a darkened night.  It is certainly all in the details.  Good luck with the hundreds of pounds of plaster....

JackieJr, Stunning brick pavement, now that's 1930. 

Does that greyhound, taking a leak, wait outside the MD's office for some fresh Bones?

Nice work....
