N scale pigeons

[Ed Kapuscinski]

Only if you're willing to paint them all.

I ain't skeered.

Seriously, I figure that I'd have to anyway.

This picture is kind of scary:



It looks like a still from a robo/sci-fi remake of Hitchcock's The Birds.   In this version they're really small and well organized, and they attack you from within...

Just ordered some and his mail boxes as well. Cool stuff!

There are Rapid-prototyping technologies that build colored models.  I don't know if they're suitable for N-scale.

The colored RP materials are much lower resolution. Would not be very useful for N scale.

I'm told these were designed specifically for Chris Brimley and his Hudson Terminal project.  I would be only mildly surprised if he includes pigeon-droppings as part of the weathering of the buildings where the flock is congregating, since he's done detail more crazy than that in the past.

I know Chris.  I just assumed he WILL model pigeon crap.  I would be surprised only if he didn't!  Doesn't everybody who models structures model pigeon crap?  It's the pigeons that have been lacking in the past...not the poop.

I always paint 'em.  No problemo.

I'm with Philip, would love to see some wading birds, like herons, cranes and egrets, ooh and seagulls, hawks for country power lines, and an American Bald eagle. And some rats for those alley scenes, and cats to hunt them, and trash cans for cover... oops, carried away again.

Where there is smoke, there is fire.
Where there are pigeons, there is.......
So that is the next modeling step in the pathway.

I have placed "pigeon poo" on the roofs of my yard structures by applying aged white paint  with the tip of a needle.

They look like O-scale Peeps.

You don't need a Facebook account too look at the web page linked to.  Also, you can go to his Shapeways "store" without a Facebook account.  (I don't use Facebook).

And according to a Facebook post, soon we'll have seagulls to go with those pigeons!  Awesome.

What no n-scale breadcrumbs to feed those birds???
