We've been contacted by a firm looking to hire some modelers to do a diorama project.

Initially, the project is up to 5 dioramas, and if it goes well, it could turn into 50 dioramas.

If you're interested, use the contact us form to send us a resume with your qualifications for this project. Only serious modelers with the time and resources to do this for hire need apply.

Have you ever wanted to customize a Photo that you had for a backdrop. I show you one way using LARC Product, Photo backdrop to create a backdrop by combining two of the backdrops in to one. This can be used with your own photos or the LARC Product. Here are the links to the two products that I used but this should get you thinking what you can do for your railroad.

An issue that has bothered me for a while now is painting the trim sheet---windows, doors and corner trim. Painting the sheet itself is pretty easy, spray it or use a brush.

The issue is once you start taking the pieces out of the sheet, the edges of the pieces are not painted. Leave them bare? or do a lot of touch up before pulling the backing off, or doing the touch up after applying the parts to the walls.

Anybody have a easy solution to this or have found a way to do this easy or not?

Thanks,   Jack

The other day I spent with several friends, just chit-chatting, watching some train videos, and checking out recent work on my friends layout. While there I was able to use Dave Frary’s YouTube tip on how to straighten the branches on Scenic Express Super Trees.

So home I came with a box of trees to finish adding foliage before planting, plus an extra package of Bachmann pull-apart static grass that I needed for some areas. The trees were finished yesterday, and will probably be planted today.
