All hail MC

Pictures went straight into my Inspiration folder. Awesome scenery Mike. The rock work is sensational.

I especially like the fact you included pictures that show walls and fascia allowing us to see what the scenery and layout look like if we were standing there.

Incredible

That's just plain incredible work Mike.  Even though your pics include walls, fascia, etc., I'm having a hard time convincing my brain that I'm not looking at prototype pics.  Outstanding!

Spectacular!!

Your scenery works is amazing Mike!

The rock work is beautiful and truly looks "in scale", towering above the tracks.

I am in awe.

Stunning

Yowsa Mike - stunning pictures. I also particularly like that first shot. The sense of distance is great.

Beautiful colors as well.

You must be a very happy man today

Mike, What you have done with that scene is absolutely amazing. The track curving away from the viewer in the second photo is as real as it gets. Looks like Carthage got some work as well.

I can feel it…

Very well done, Mike. 

Your approach with modeling the mud season is so unique that it’s exciting to see what you come up with next. When I looked through the photos, see the remaining snow and the way you painted the rock faces, it made me feel the dampness of late winter / early springtime and how the air feels during that time of year. 

That’s exactly what any talented artist strives for – evoking an emotional and memorable response, and that’s what I think of your modeling efforts – artistry.

Exactly what Scott said, Mike.

Excellent work! We can feel

Excellent work!

We can feel the cold weather looking to the photos!

I'm pleased to see this update.

This is so good I'm at a loss

This is so good I'm at a loss of words. You make me think about getting into a different hobby...

No one does it better

The landscape is breathtaking, yet typical for New England. Amazing eye to the color composition of the scenery. From rocks half buried in soil and leftover winter grass to the snow showing through the grays and browns of leafless trees, nothing catches the eye as being odd or out of place.  Mike I love your work, please produce us some more how-to videos showing your scenic and weathering techniques, no one does it better!

Fantastic!

Wow! Very inspiring. Thank you for sharing, Mike 

Awesome

Beautiful, nice how the train dwarfs against the great rock wall!

Can't Wait for Next Video

WOW!  

Great work.  

I am waiting for your next OPS video.

The bar keeps getting higher and higher

Mike:

I too am at a loss for words.  You have managed to convey a sense of remoteness, almost isolation, that I can't recall seeing on any other layout, in any scale.

Put me down for one of your DVDs describing the techniques you used on this section of the Allagash.  You are going to produce one on this subject, aren't you?

Next ops video doesn't show this new scenery

Great scenery what is with the quart of turpentine for the rocks? and what colors did you use for the rocks? I am at that point on my layout in building rocks and coloration.

Great job. Carter

Fantastic, Mike!

Beautiful scenery!
