Does anyone else see Jabba the Hutt, winking in that left-center rock formation?

Will you be incorporating the Dune Sea?

Here's a Clerihew about Ed. K.

Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
But mention his law
and you've pulled your last straw!

Alternate version:
Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."

You ain't kidding.  At least one more.  I'll wait until MBK gets more in stock.

Wait...was that there before?

I look forward to when you actually create a layout.  The Broadway/My Little Pony theme should provide for some interesting images.  :ashat:

I think Bob is going to core my eye out with a mouthpiece.
Anyways, so those scenes are just static grass and super trees? I don't know if I even want to use lichen and puffs on my layout.

Sure you do.  Go for that 1980's retro-scenery look.  It's the new rage.  All the kids are doing it.  Big flanges, too.

Anybody want about 5 gallons worth of green blobs?  Maybe I can figure out how to make a dog toy with them.

Bob, Grind them up like everything else!

It's remarkable how great those scenes look from just a week ago seeing them in person.  I was so impressed then and I can't wait to see those in person later (that is if I'm still welcome...)

I am officially adopting you as my landscape mentor. :D

Aw, shucks.  (kicks dirt)  You're welcome anytime.  Not too sure about that chicken character  :trollface:

I was reading Ed's Conrail/layout blog yesterday, one of the things I read was about how he set up his digital camera for taking layout picks.  I fooled around with a few settings, put the box on the sticks, low ISO, etc...



Looks like those camera settings work out well.  Much better depth of field, though my camera doesn't seem to allow me to change F stops. (Unaltered in PS, just cropped a bit)

Hmm. Yeah. When's the next party at Hornwrecker's? Maybe next time we can go get Buddy's Pizza!

Whenever, except May 5th.  I live a mile away from Loui's Pizza, arguably better than Buddy's.
