My guess is if you have not met Russ Reinberg, publisher of a narrow guage quarterly magazine, you would want to.
His photography is equal to yours – and that is a big compliment for him.

truely beautiful layout and workmanship… :slight_smile:

It’s looking great Randy. BTW what do you use to glue down your ties to the Styroform?

Hey guys,
thanks a bunch!

Looking good Randy. I showed my son-in-law the photos of what you have been doing and he could only say, “WOW !” In fact I thought it was funny because he said that one day last week he woke up early about 3:30am thinking of how he could make trees. I had to laugh.

Hey Chuckm
son in law sounds like an adult man,
if he’s serious to know how I do trees direct him to my sights on Railroad Line forums
I made about 70 trees the last number of days for this current dioraman
used about 60 of them for the corner scene,
this excercise in foresting sure is intresting and fun!

Randy

Randy - Thanks again for posting pictures. I just love how you are able to achieve a deep woods look and a real sense of depth. Beautiful scenes :smiley:

I don’t really know what else to say? …but I love the pics!

Randy, I’ve never seen modeling at this level before. You are a true Master. Perhaps you could publish a series on your forest modeling, that some of us could emulate. Your work is simply beautiful.

Thanks for those kind words Rich, the large tree making is logged on RailroadLine forums, just google…Columbia Pacific Timber Co. Randy

I’m really glad you showed us the edge of the module. Otherwise I would have been certain you were trying to fool us into believing this was a model :slight_smile:

Well thanks Jon, I was tryen to fool you it was just a model, heres one more shot of the triangle piece,
