I was just hoping someone would believe it was real woodbounce7 . Here is the piece of sytrene in the picture at an earlier stage.

I have a "what I did" on making styrene look like wood at:

I'm pleased that I managed to stump 5 folks with a crop from this shot. I used a free download photo editor called The Gimp for the effects. :thumb: Kinda sad when the freebies are better than the programs ya fork over coin for.

Congratulations, Hminky :thumb:

Wait a minute. Did 10 people really think a picture of a NYC steam loco in a desert was real? Don't get me wrong, I love the loco, and the desert sure looks real

I'm happy to have done so well. That shot is of a model I built as part of my college thesis project. It's O scale, scratchbuilt from layered, laser-cut acrylic sheet (I had a lot more technology available to me in college than out:curse, plastruct shapes, and Mt. Albert scale lumber. Here's the pic in color, not cropped.

Thanks,
Chris
