Shadow Box Effect with Wall Paint

Mon, 2015-04-27 06:47 — Joe Baker

This question is just for fun, but I wonder if anyone has tried creating a 'close to' shadow box effect by painting their layout room walls and ceiling black, while maintaining a colored backdrop, instead of creating a black valance? A compromise instead of installing custom lighting and a valance if the layout is going to be moved every 2 or 3 years.

I'd like to share my latest animation with you all. I model narrow gauge and have been creating animations for several years now. The latest is a new On3 module with a turntable, sand house, coaling tower and water tank.

Here is the video as a photo can't show movements - enjoy ...

Cricut Tip

Sun, 2015-04-26 00:39 — pierre52

While we have had our Cricut for 4 months, I have had remarkably few chances to use it. Consequently I am still going through a steep learning curve.  This weekend I have been trying a few new things and after considerable head scratching managed to have a couple of wins so thought I would share the experience with you.

Now where is that pesky short?

I spent 10 minutes tracing a short in my newly laid track ​work - DUH!
