The layout was fantastic BEFORE you added the backscene - now you've taken it into a whole new dimension.
This picture is a stunner. The white house, caught by the sunlight, stands out beautifully from the dark hill where presumably, a storm is brewing. How many times has a scene like this been used in "art books" to define contrast. An iconic scene brilliantly captured. :cheers:cheers:cheers
I think most of us can simply ditch our efforts and watch the likes of you whilst we imagine it's us doing it ………….:roll::roll::roll:
Forgot to ask - what are the backscenes ?

The backscenes are ID, they are excellent, they come as two 5' lengths per scene, it's possible to much up some of them to make a long scene, they're on thick paper too IMO well worth the price.

For those looking for ID backscenes, here is where I bought mine from : http://pufferwillies.co.uk/uk2ecommerce/department/i_d_backscenes/
As Phil said, they are well worth the price.
Cheers, Gary.

As Bob says, absolutely stunning. They really could be shots of the real thing. You must be chuffed to bits with them. :pathead:pathead
Where did you get the smoke on the Prairie (?) in the last B/W shot ? I'm not usually a huge fan of "shopped" photos but that one looks extremely realistic.

Peter the smoke came from a 4MT in "Heritage Railways of the British Isles" but I would have used whatever looked good. There was'nt a lot of time spent on PSing that picture, I admit it could be better but again, everything takes time :roll:
It always amazes me the difference between viewing from a standing position and ground level, from almost toy-like to realistic.
Here's the original.

There are also a few area's that could be added to, to the right of this picture for one. This was a quick snap with a pocket camera so the depth of field is not as it should be.

If it needs "seeing to" it will be really interesting to see what you add. The difference between an ordinary guy and a Master eh !!!!
