Blending Photo-backdrop with 3D Scenery for River
There will be a few places where a river will enter into the backdrop. For those scenes, I plan on using a photo-backdrop (either from commercially available products, or from photos I will take of the actual river I am modeling, photo-shopped and printed at Kinkos or similar places). My only concern is how to blend the photo along the river's edge. The main river I am modeling is the Allegheny River, and the locations I am modeling has the water very smooth, so I don't see how I can use a kind of ridge to hide the seam. Any ideas? Is there a way to
Photo Backdrops
I hope that I am posting this to the right place as I am new to MRH. I have made a how-to video on creating Photo Backdrops. This is the first of a two-video set. You can view this video on my blog here:
Where did Kevin's post go?

Modelling in the Land of Sand
I suppose I should start with an introduction? I started with trains more years ago than I care to remember, when around age 5 I received an 0 Gauge Hornby clockwork tank engine. A couple of years later this became a Hornby 00 gauge 3 rail layout, then a 2 rail, until I had around age 15, a roster of around a dozen locomotives, all UK outline.
What LED's to use for what?
I wonder what LED's are used for what purpose and where to find them. When do you use resistors with LED's? I guess I want people to spill their guts on the use of LED's. I saw the thred on fiber optics and have ordered the sample package of fiber. (Thanks Ed for starting that thread!!!)
12V DC Power Supply
I purchased this 12V DC 4 amp regulated power supply to power all accessories on my layout. It is listed as a 12V DC unit, however it also states its a: 13.8V DC 4 Amp regulated low ripple filtered. I dont know too much about electrical, so I'm wondering exactly what this means and if it is safe to use for LED's, signals
