It is tree making time and I opened up the first box of Scenery Express Super Trees.  I was planning on spraying the trees with grey primer, then spraying diluted matte medium on them, and then sprinkling the leave material.  I also thought I would try the hairspray technique.  The instructions that came with the trees however, says to soak the trees in diluted matte medium and then sprinkle the leaf material on from above and then allow the trees to dry upside down attached to a clothesline.  This seems complicated and messy.

Did you ever do that tutorial on print and cut?

would you be willing to do a zoom session?

Hi all.  Just wondering how I would go about modifying 1/87 cars and trucks to show front wheels turning.  I am Planning a car show scene and want cars looking like they are coming and going out of the parking lot so turned front wheels would be good.

Any suggestions with pics would be awesome.

Thanks

Here are three options for making structures I am trying on my layout. I am modeling White River Junction VT in the 50’s.  This first building on the right is a styrene building — following Pele Soeberg in Model Railroader.  The next building to the left is an experiment in which I used photos only.  Since the original building was white, I have taken an old photo, cleaned it up, cut out all the openings, and placed a glossy version of the same photo behind it. I will be adding a loading dock.
