Waterproofing Plywood

I'm building a layout in a shed external to my house in the hot, humid state of FL. While I have the shed under a carport and insulated well, it does seem to remain cool for the most part. But I do not intend to run the AC full time, so it will experience temp and humidity swings.

Many of my decks/shelfs will be good grade, multiply layered 3/4" plywood, which I intend to try and 'seal up' as much as possible against moisture absorption, and the subsequent warping that can occur.

Projection Mapping for the masses... Bring objects on your layout to life!

This popped up in my Youtube feed today:

I can see where this technology could be used to manage shadows, clouds, window lights, and all kinds of effects on a model railroad.

The possibilities are potentially endless on this. You could bring an entire night city scene to life in a very short time. Cool stuff!

First Scratchbuilding Project - Generic 4 Axle Tender

Hello all! I've been a member here for a while, but haven't posted as I've been out of the hobby for a while. I've decided to return, and here I want to document the progress on my first real scratchbuilding project, which is an S scale 4 axle tender. It's not meant to complement any specific locomotive, as I don't own any locomotives in S scale yet, but the goal is to build something that would look nice behind a medium-sized locomotive, such as a 2-8-0, 2-8-2, 2-10-0, or what-have-you.
