Scenery and structures
Layout Vacuum
I am looking for a small handheld vacuum that I can use when applying scenic material and for clean up afterwards. I would like one where I can recapture loose material to be used again. I would also like one that I can do general clean up without damaging items on my layout. I see that Woodland Scenics manufactures a small portable vacuum but I’m curious it anyone has had any experience with it.
Thanks for any input.

Diorama for Photography Purposes
Dioramas for Photography Purposes - Need Ideas
I've recently purchased a new Macro lens and am trying to boost my photography skills. Looks like I really need a portable diorama to make shooting easier.
Do you have a photo diorama? How did you design it? Photos available? Would love to know what you were thinking, what you built and what you'd do different. I'm looking at size of the diorama, trackage, scenic effects, etc.
Thanks all!

Really love scratch building. Have just resurrected my layout after ten years, so not familiar with laser board or how to use. Any direction to sources of information would be appreciated. thanks
