Building Photos

Chris     Here is what I did for a few of my background buildings. I have quite a few older Walthers catalogs

             that have some realy nice larger pictures of their buildings. I took them and had some real good

             color photo copies made then cut them out and then mounted them on real heavy card stock which

             worked ok but shuold have put them on thin foam board. O by the way these photos were enlarged

             to HO scale. With other models of their buildings in front of then they really look great. Add a 

             little landscaping and other things it really pulls it all together. All this is just one way to do what

             your trying to do.        ron netti              

Evans Designs Software

 Hi Chris,

I use Model Builder by Evans Designs. You can model in many scales and save you work. I also add real windows/doors from Tichy Train Group and Plastruct.

They make easy to use lighting products too!

Photo edit software

I use Photo Brush 5 because has a tool to correct perspective and distortion and Paint.net for everything else. IIRC they are free or very cheap. Work great also.

I use Model Builder too

The following photo has backgrounds printed using Model Builder. You be the judge...
