Backdrops

Thu, 2021-05-20 10:27 — gillergee

I am looking for a sky back drop for my layout. I have tried to reach Dave at Backdrop Junction. Does anyone know if they are still in business?

Can you suggest other places to by backdrops? 

Thanks

I bought a Walthers Kit for a kitbash project and it was not what I expected. Kudos Walthers!!!!

Backdrop on a Small Layout

Mon, 2021-05-17 15:49 — lineswestfan

Need some advice here.

Current state of the build is in the photo below.  I want to put a partial length backdrop right behind the ridge.  (There may or may not be additional "wing" backdrops behind the cuts on the two ends.)

I have 12" wide hardboard so I will use hardboard. (I know there are a hundred other products I could use, but I'm going to use what I have.) 

Modeling stone structures

Couple more days of progress

Building continues.  Roadbed down.  Dug the turntable pit.  Started to carve the river bank.  Started cutting chunks for the vertical scenery.   

And, oh yeah, added 1x2's to all sides of the door to ensure that the layout area meets the minimum space needed for the NMRA Scenery AP certificate.

Unbelieable Modeling in Many Scales,....lots of photos

This is a very long subject thread on another forum. The photos of this gentleman's work is just unbelievable.

I've referenced this page where he discusses Z scale work he has done. Imagine this sort of detail in Z scale !!!

A question about cardstock

Thu, 2021-05-13 14:39 — bulletbobb

I recently bought two packages of cardstock, both from Walmart.

The first is their Astrobrights line, supposedly 65 lb. The sheets are .008" thick.

The second is Pen + Gear (in the yellow package), described as 110 lb Premium Card Stock. It, too, is .008" thick.

As far as I can tell the two are identical.

I bought the 65 lb material because I wanted something lighter than the 110 lb, but that's not what I got. Could someone explain to me just what's going on?
