Sunday Scenic Showcase September 16, 2018

Flawless, Alan, as usual! I can just imagine that house with a full yard all around, cars in a driveway, trees, shrubs, kids playing...a wonderful model to excite the imagination.

You are the best!

Here is another incomplete scene that I need to get back to work on.

Dave if this is incomplete I can't imagine how much more awesome it will be. I guess that's why your the man! Great work thus far.

WBG Pete, You have such a wonderfully talented eye for making things look natural and familiar.

Great to see some old names and some great work still here on the Sunday Showcase! 

you all are so talented and I am at the other end as a beginner! I have been working on a see thru elevator for a passenger train station the tracks are below the stations platform and so is a 2 level affair. I had to create my own elevator doorways and it took 4 tries before settling on this one.

working with both clear non glare plastic white polystyrene sheet and thin brass sheet stock is and was a challenge but I think a better result would have been using the polystyrene entirely for the doorways?

I also learned that styrene sheet is like paper is in printing it has a long and short grain to it as when I glued the wood planking to the styrene it warped but used a blow dryer on high heat and a really heavy box with mr riveter inside flattened that out! lesson learned I hope!

the elevator shaft itself took 3 tries as the first 2 had clear panels to long and after gluing I tried sawing them and crackkkk they went so last time as in wood working I sat down and drew a diagram with all the correct measurements and still I had to use a Dremel on upper station platform area of elevator as floor was still 1/16" to high but I got it fixed.

Great work everyone!  Wonderful to see some old faces still posting as well as some new blood.  Its been ages since I've stomped these grounds and need  a little help on how to upload pics to posts ... anyone kind enough to help an original member of the Scenery Showcase out with a quick primer if it doesnt work out according to plan 

St Paul that's a cool elevator!
