That is a beautiful structure, Lee!  I'm going to have to make another trip out there to see Cumberland once it's all done.

... and plopped back down on the layout...







That second view is my favorite, I think, but I'll need to photoshop out the the Thomas Sub shelf to really make it pop.

Have you thought about making a temporary backdrop that would hide the Thomas Sub for photos?

The trick will be to slip a piece of "sky" between the second deck and the highway bridge.  I might pick up a sheet of poster board to experiment a bit...

Even if I can just put in a white background, it will be easier to shop in a proper backdrop.

Poster board should work great. As would some of those big plastic signs you've talked about.

I believe we referred to that as "Beer Goggles" in college...

Judging from this angle, it looks like you should be able to tape a sky board to the front edge of the upper deck, and have it extend about 3" lower, which would probably be just enough to block the shelf brackets, etc. in the money shot above.

This scene is so cool now!

...and no more foolish blather about blobs... :trollface:

Thanks, everyone!  I've enjoyed the last two evenings loafing on the couch... would have been better if the Orioles beat the Yankees, but so it goes.

I've got a big sale Saturday at the ReStore, once that's past, I'll probably get a few more things done up there.

One last look through the back window of the Plymouth Satellite...


Time to clean the room and think about running trains again...

A very rough cut of the paper sky background.  I'll have to work on some sort of faux transition, maybe some puffballs or something to the left, and I'll definitely need to do some lighting under the bridge.  It's like there's an eclipse or something going on down there.
