This is an unfinished section of my layout (they all are)! I have no backdrop so I used MS Paint to put in a skyops:. I probably should at least invest in some blue poster board for pics...being computer illiterate, it took over an hour to put the blue in
I would also like to thank Deano for teaching me what little I know about setting up a shot:thumb:

Hey, Steve, nice work, but then, you've learned from one of the best. :thumb: I like the way that you've used two different styles of bridges, too: it really sets the mainline apart from the mine/loader tracks. I have lots of pictures with un-skylike stuff floating around in the background, ops: and when I get a computer that can see the proper colours, I'll have to learn that trick.

Fantastic Pics!!!

Steve, WOW!!! FANTASTIC SHOTS!!!:thumb: :thumb: :thumb: i REALLY LIKE the placement of the engines, the level it was shot at, the background, CRIPES, there SLAP AWESOME!!!:thumb: one thing that i think is neat about your background, in the first pic, look under the mine, see the "storm" coming up, as opposed to the rest of the sky, now look at the sky in the second pic...THE STORM IS ABOUT HERE!:thumb: i think that was a REALLY neat effect!:thumb: the pics TRULY look AWESOME STEVE!!! BTW, your layout in that area looks FANTASTIC TOO!:thumb: -Deano

Really fantastic shots! Hey - that MSPaint sky works for me (matter of fact, I'm going to try it out). Great details and textures. Really well done!

Thanks all:thumb:

Steven...Thank you!

Wayne:
nice work, but then, you've learned from one of the best.

You are so right:thumb:...I probably learned more from Deano in a week than I would have learned in a year on my own. Your beautiful work has always been an inspiration and education to me as well:thumb:.

Deano:
one thing that i think is neat about your background, in the first pic, look under the mine, see the "storm" coming up, as opposed to the rest of the sky

, now look at the sky in the second pic...THE STORM IS ABOUT HERE!

i think that was a REALLY neat effect!

Deano...I never knew I was such an artistic genius!...I thought I just didn't match the colors up right...Thank you my friend, for all your patient tutelage and more importantly, your friendship:thumb:

Herc Driver...thank you so much! Your wonderful work is also some that I find great inspiration in and always keep in the back of my mind as a standard to "try" and come close to :thumb:

Take care

Great pictures Steve!:thumb: :thumb:

I have some blue poster board for back drops and there are times I wish I could figure how to put a blue background in instead of using the posterboard.

hiscopilot, Jim...Thanks guys:thumb:

my favorite "fallen flag".

Jim...It's funny how I picked NP to model...I wanted passenger cars that I could use on 18" curves and was told Walthers was having a sale on some 60 footers....I liked the looks of the NP's the best so I went NP crazy!...I have since been learning about it and even joined a NP group online....probably not the best way to pick a road to model...but I love the choice none the less!
