SuperTrees on the Juniata Division

Dave, yep...  Considering that.  I colored the backside of each of the signs with a silver Sharpie.  That might be OK too for some of these signs so there's no bleeding edge from black into silver.

And out of the 16 hours, you'd only have to spend about 8 or 9 in the car with Iain...

.....each way.

This picture is the definition of why the camera has become so essential to model railroading.  I swear to God, I feel like I just stepped out of the Hard Hat in Newport...  The soft focus simulates the effect of 3 32 oz. Yuengling drafts...

Perhaps the best railway model picture I've ever seen.............

Really?  Thanks!  It was a quick grab; no prop backdrop or extra lighting...  Just the layout as it was at the moment.

.... and that seems to be the way to gt the "special" onces some days... the lighting is so realistic....nice work.

another thing to try.. I printed my signs on paper, then stick metal tape to the back.. when you cut 'em out, they're still nice and thin, and already have a metal back

I print signs on self-adhesive paper, then stick it to the shiny side of aluminum foil, so the dull side is exposed.

[Dave V]

Great ideas, both!

Hey Dave that looks really, really great. I think this is an awesome example of how a seemingly simple change can make an already great layout a truly outstanding one.

Nice work!

[Packer]

They really do look, well, real. real good.

I'm being lazy and using WS fine green blend, some WS weeds, and some medium green coarse.  I thought I had medium green fine, but I can't find it.  Nearest LHS is a good 45 minutes away so I went with what I had.

Have you checked the LHS (Hobby Central) across the street from the mall in Fort Walton? Last time (about a month ago) I was there they had a bunch of the stuff. That one would be about a 25 to 35 minute trip depending on traffic. It's only about 5 minutes from Hulburt's East gate.

I'm gonna go by there sometime next week to get some better cement than the testors stuff I'm using. Even if it's MSRP, it's better than waiting till I'm going to Pensacola or ordering.

The WS section at Hobby Central was picked clean when I was there Monday...  Nothing but coarse and clump, no fine.
