Tom...

The trees are great and the video "run through" is really cool.

thanx
Bob

Bob,

Thanks for the very kind words of support. The tree making was tedious but I do agree, they look good.

More videos this afternoon.

Tom,


I am taking a quick break from my layout project to let you know that you are doing a marvelous job with your scenery. It really looks like the South. I really likes the burned tree area. Just Marvelous, my friend !!! Keep up the great work. More photos and videos please.

Frank,

I know you are a very busy man so I really appreciate you taking your valuable time checking in on my thread.

I also very much appreciate the kind compliment on the layout. You know I had to burn some trees to keep my reputation in tact.

More pictures and videos this afternoon or early evening.

I haven't learned how to edit/combine my videos yet so ya'll get the benefit of three videos.

ACL 1504,
                     Excellent videos again sir!  Those trees do make the scene.  Question (only) have you thought about trying to get a lower from the ground level video shot like you were at the 5' level from a vehicle or a tripod standing train geek on the side of the tracks. (even lower then you have so far) Don't know with all the trees if that's even possible. I don't have trees really in my way here when I shoot.  ha.  Just curious Mr. Spielberg.  ha. KP-out...

Great videos Tom. I think I saw sand patches in the ground cover. That is a great feature for Southern woods. Excellent attention to detail to make your scenery second to none.

Very nice Tom! Scenery looks great.

Hi Tom:

Thanks for another great video.

Tom, your videos reminded me of driving down the InterState through Florida. The trees are will made and placed to break up the scene - yet provide enough density to indicate a forest. All you need to do is figure out how to make and add all those succulents to the fields.

I think it would be great if you could try what Tom suggested and take the video a little lower thru the trees.

Very cool Tom. I can't wait to see the finished scene. Did you by chance do a posting on the FOS scale yard office #2? I looked in the forum kit building threads and your closed thread without success. I have it on order and figured to read up on it while waiting.p

Curt,

Thank you, much appreciated.

Reading Bob built the FOS Yard Office #2 and I don't think he did a thread, if so, I didn't find it either.

I don't have any closed threads so if you found one let me know what it is.

Tom

I don't think I did a thread on that build.  Every now and then I sneak one in without doing a thread.     That was a fun little kit and I have another one waiting in the stash to build for myself someday.  I really liked the look and dimensions of the structure.

Listen Cecil, This is a Grade B movie house. Take your complaint to Warner Brothers.


However, I will try a track side shot for a future video.

Curt,

Thank you for the very kind compliment on the piney woods scenery. Yes, those are white sand patches, good eye. I'm letting them grow on me a little but I think a little more white will work better.

You are correct being a Floridian, in that the white sand patches in the pines is natural.

Very nice Tom! Scenery looks great.

Hal,

Thank you, very much appreciated. Your Turbo Tree Maker sure came in handy. And, it saved a whole lot of time in making the pine trees.

Great invention.

Tom
