Water & Stamp Mills,G.Elevators, and MOre

If you are trying to sell, load the photos and set a price.

If you are simply showing your work do your best to get good photos up. This forum has any number of people who might provide interest.

Well, I've had quite a few photos published, but I've never used professional lighting,

and the light box I can set up isn't/wasn't large enough for these huge buildings that

I did put on here...

None of these pictured structures are for sale, although I have some O scale structure kits that are duplicates, unbuilt, for sale..such as Suncoast kits for Fairbanks-Morse coaling station, logging camp, and ice house and platform, plus, probably others.

Colorado, I don't know why no one has commented on your threads. I looked at them (so I guess I'm guilty,too). I like what I saw.

I took this post as that you were wondering "if you were wasting time" posting. It does seem that way sometimes. Since we no longer have "views" you don't know if anybody is even looking if they don't comment.

Bottom line, post if you want. I like your work.

Vulcan:

Thanks for your comments..it was kind of a "am I wasting my time?" note, but..I don't

always comment on everything I view, even if I find it interesting, as I do much on

this blog.

I too looked but did not comment. I enjoyed the sugar beet factory and would like to see pictures of the Suncoast kits for sale. Post the photos again as people want to 'see' what your work looks like.

I also have looked at all your posts and pictures. In my case I am so "out classed" on this forum that if I were to coment on everything I liked I would be here 24 hours a day! What amazes me is that you "masters" can take on a project and detail it with "ordinary" stuff and build a structures just by seeing a picture and then start building. I spend days just trying to come up with an idea of something to add and then have no idea about how to create it.

Great work and please keep posting your pictures. I always come away with something I want to add to my "empire"!

I did not know we are to comment on all post

Mr. Strogey:

Don't be intimidated by what you see on here...buy a structure kit in styrene and

another in wood, and you will find that anybody can glue little sticks together.  An

eye for detail, and I DON'T spend that time to try to build contest quality models, trying to populate a layout, time, and patience, is all it takes.  I got my practice at an early age by kitbashing a tin Marx #21 into a double cab/ended version of a New Jersey commuter diesel because the #21 was too big for the sharp curves on my 0-27 track.

(that effort, with tin snips and then brush painted, did not enhance that engine's collectibility!)

Then, probably early teens, I bought an HO flatcar kit, and then some wooden building kits.  And realized, "I can do this". And you and everyone else reading this

can, too,.... some can do it better, but your effort will be unique.  If all those kids were building models in the '50's, no reason adults can't do it today, and have something tangible to show for it.  As for sources of ideas, OGR and all the other model railroad magazines, photos of structures you like, drives searching out railroads, all work well.
