I started working on my LA-themed layout recently, and I have a photo to share. Temporary track is in place. This is a famous scene, see if you can guess where? The wall is 35mm tall!!  I need to tone down the dark brick window fills on the right, it appears. |

Just like Dan L, I'll paste a depressing lyric here.
The ringing of a bell torments deep in the vestibule of my ear.
The faces are all melted, how can this be?
The figures are just crude, because the scale is Z!

Looks like the white balance got skewed. But it looks really good. I don't recognize the "famous scene" but it looks like photo-printed paper...? That's how I'd planned to make the brick-faced structures at Pine Creek. If I get some good shots, I can use actual images of the building.  |

If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing again. |

It is a combination of the white balance and the color change from printing. This was an experiment to see if the textures from Clever Models could be scaled down to Z and still be realistic when printed. I was worried that the result would be just a bunch of printer dots! Considering how small everything is, I am surprised that it turned out as nice as it did.
Of course, if you can use images of the building, even better.

I tried to improve the graphics today, but now I notice a repeating pattern in the darker brick.  It is actually pretty tough to get printed brick to look right.  |

The only paper brick sheets I have without a repeat pattern is the stuff from Papercreek.

So where will you find a Z scale CF-7? Actually the fugly cab would help hide the wide hood. Or you could start with a AZL GP7 and some fudge.
