Morning all,

Today is Pam's hair day so no modeling until later this afternoon. After she gets the hair done, we'll get lunch and head for home.

Have a great day ya'll.

Greetings from SE NH, where the weather is perfect.  It got down to 58 last night, due to get up to 85 today, with lower humidity than we had this time last week.  

I tried a different pattern on mounting the photo buildings to the mat board.  As soon as I glued the photos and rolled them to set the image, I flipped the mat board over, misted that, and then put the weights on it.  We'll see if that gets a better result than my previous approach.  There's a couple more runs of photos I need to mount, then I should take the full set out and spray seal them (Golden Acrylic Archival Varnish) before mounting them.

Last night when taking the dogs out, I saw an albino skunk.  Of course I rushed to take the dogs back in before they discovered that, so no photos.

Morning all,

Nice picture Eric!

Not much going on here today.  Maybe I'll get up the gumption to paint some more details this afternoon. ;)

Stack of tie plates next to the tracks.  George Sellios demonstrates a cheap, easy way to replicate this on one of the earlier Allen Keller videos of the FS&M

Have a great one!

Good morning! Great weather here too.  I'm heading outside to take advantage of it. Great picture Bob. It's all about the details.
