How long have you been at this ?🙄
Dallas, believe it or not, I can't.. I started with 1/24 diecast scale cars. I needed some buildings to go with them.. Late 2010. I bought the Evans Design "model builder software".. and started making paper buildings.... I didn't get into O gauge until 2012. I met a guy in Michaels, buying balsa wood. He was a builder of O Gauge structures for layouts, that he sold to millionaires who didn't have time to build themselves. In Jan 2012, I bought my first Lionel set, and started a layout'.... One thing led to another, the normal progression... I've always been an artist from a kid. I majored in art in HS. Wanted to attend the Pair School of Art, extension of Yale. But no scholarships, and way too expensive.... So bottom line, I have the eye for painting figures, scenery; structures, etc. I haven't painted any pictures in many years. When I was a kid I did many illustrations. That skill has never left me, (so far)...🎃
