L & B Railroad update!




Here are a few of the latest pictures of progress on the railroad. I couldn't get a picture of the color on the mountains that was true to the actual colors I have painted. My less than expert opinion is the lighting I am using which is mostly florescent with halogen spots. I do know florescent lights play havoc with camera colors. I read somewhere the key to realistic looking mountains in your scenery is using several colors and thinning the paint to the point that it is more a wash than a paint. I have used five colors with a black over-wash to dull the colors back. So here is the result just keep the lighting in mind. The bridge piers are a work in progress but you get the idea. I have also been producing doll house furniture, Abb's is coming to visit next weekend and I hopefully will have some new pieces for her to play with.

the mountains look great- when you look at the before and after expecially!
