FORCED Perspective?

Only if you're HO scale and can stand having Horace Fithers snoring in the next bedroom.

Thanks for a good laugh first thing in the morning Charlie!

As long as I don't have to share a pallet with Horace I could make do, the wife and kids though...?

As for being HO scale, I think my staying in Bear Creek would give "FORCED" perspective a whole new meaning! [wink]

Seriously though, I did put the idea out there to the wife about visiting Portland in 2015, so you never know.

Appreciating Modeling In All Scales but majoring in HO!

Not everybody likes me, luckily not everybody matters.
