Hi Tom:

The RR is coming along very nicely. Love the boat and Storage co. Also the scenery around is very nicely done.

Tom, it is all blending together very well. the transitions from area to area are natural and realistic and gets better every time you add some more details and scenery. The colour tones look ok and the use of brown dirt areas add interest and make it feel like it was used by somebody. It is not looking like a model, but a real part of an environment.

Keep up the excellent modelling!

Your scenery is just fantastic Tom! I've been meaning to try and make a chain link fence.....

The thread and the layout are looking great - you sure put a lot of work into rebuilding the thread.  Thank you for sharing it all with us - again.  Please take a few minutes and do a backup like we talked about.  Just say-in!

Stay cool and run steam.......

Will be waiting for you to continue on.

Thank you as well. I'm already some fifty pictures into the new portion. Just need to get them up with a narrative.

Karl,

Thanks for all the kind words on the work. The scenery is fun but very time consuming.

Marty,

Your kind words on my work is very much appreciated, thank you. It has been fun and I agree that some of the dirt areas do make it look more believable.

Bob,

Thank you for the compliment, much appreciated. The fence is easy, a little time involved but well worth the effort in the end.

Tom,

Appreciate that you took the time to repost the pictures you lost to the network crash.  The area looks very rustic like the backwoods should. 

I like the lighting you did in the area.  It really adds something to the scene.

I know I said I'd start this tomorrow but I have a little more time. The area I'm working on, which I've mentioned several times is shown below.

This area is south of Delwin's Boat and Net Storage and runs to the Tahope River.



The Tahope River is in the bottom on the next photo. Okay, well, all you can see is some brown paper. The length is just over 13 feet. Lots of scenery to fill in.




More in a few.
