You guys realize that those of you that include a train in the scene, have the chance to submit to the magazine for reader's rails....earn some extra bucks!

Thanks Alan for the invite maybe some here will take you up in it 

Hope you all will. You all put together amazing scenes that make me think of stuff I see around me as well as old photographs. Definitely talk to Alan and get some great stuff in the magazine to inspire those that don't make it here online.

Worth the wait; thanks for your iPad perserverance :-).  This particular Ford model is new to me.  It's overall design and color scheme look great.

Your street scene angles and scenery look wonderfully realistic.  Thanks for posting.

Ted, the distressed paint on the garage door looks great but what I'm really blown away by are the curtains in the windows.  Can you tell us what you used to create that great effect?  The Champion and Mopar colors and graphics go well together, too.

Thanks,

TRRR

Actually I cannot take credit for the curtains or the door.  This structure is covered with paper I printed from "Evans Designs", Modeler Builder Software.  With the software you design and print sheets of doors, windows, cornices, bricks, etc.  It is a great program.  I enhanced the structure with plenty of balsa wood. Here's a few more pics of the basic structure........ If you blow up the pics, you may be able to better see the paper.  When I first started scratch building, The Evans software was instrumental , as I used it like you would with blue prints....

Ted,

I had (have) that software so long ago it was on a floppy disc. I wonder if Dave will update it so I can use it again? I really did like using it.

The garage looks great.

Yes Ray he has updated it  and can send a link, and he has CD version too. Plus a sign make, and advertiser and brick sheet programs also... Dave and Shelly, real nice helpful folks too....Free shipping and very fair prices'...

Well guys its just a lazy day in Small Town just outside Savannah on the Leonardtown and Savannah and like small towns everywhere tongues will wag...Today the town gossip is wondering what that nice lady who arrived in the Cadillac is doing in the Diner with that young man with the slicked back hair who just pulled up in the new 1953 Corvette!

Sorry to ask a non-car question, who made the cops and waving woman in the shorts, all of which are in the foreground?

p51...the 2 police officers are Preiser 1/45 scale, and the lady in front of the '55 Chevy is Preiser also but 1/43 scale....always nice detail  I'll be adding more Presier figures in the newly placed bus station and train station over the next few days.  I'll post more then.

QuarterGauger 48/Ted,

Thanks for posting the information on the Modeler Builder Software and the extra photos of the backside of your building.  The whole effect looks great.

 You are quite welcome'... If you have a chance to take a look at the Model builder/Evans Designs web site, I think you will find it worth your while'....

I picked up these 4 beauties at a local train show this morning. All 1:43, the perspective in the pic makes the 3 to the right of the van look smaller. The "Nomad" is an Opel:
