roundhouse floor

I need help with kitbashing an ho scale roundhouse floor.  I plan on using track with the ties.  What would be the best sizes of styrene to build the floor even with the rails.

More puff ball tree questions

Having in recent months made up a few hundred puff ball trees using Micro Mark's black fiber and Woodland Scenics turf materials, I'm now debating as to the best method to apply the trees to my layout. I have already put down the base ground material on the surface, but am not sure what to use to attach the balls to the surface. I have used 3M's #77 spray adhesive to create the balls, but I'm not comfortable trying to spray each puff ball as I go in the "planting" process ( very messy and smelly).

Instruction help

I purchased a Muir Models Silver City mine (HO) and it doesn't have any instructions. Does anyone know where I might find some? Thanks

pot ash

would pot ash be stored in some kind of grain or cement silo? found good info on rolling stock but nothing on storage. 

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!

Printing building fronts

Been watching Jason Jensen videos. In the "Building a City Street Scene" episode, he shows at the 30:00 mark how after building a wall from a kit (painted, weathered, windows completely) he downloads a scan to his computer and from there makes color corrections etc. then glues onto cardstock and can customize structures to fit available spaces. I'm a computer idiot (71 y.o) but asking for suggestions as to how this is best accomplished with regards to good programs and/or  tutorials as how to get started.
