I never built a train layout, but my passion was building structures true to scale with scale materials and accurate drawings - not from kits. All of it went away when I joined the Army in 1970 and I never got back into it. I love this video.
Hello Chris. Had a Grande time talking to you and your wife at the show. Also enjoyed the clinic you gave on Painting Backdrops and for giving me a chance to paint green field grass. Also had a great time talking to Bill Scobie regarding his Distruction of Butterfly and the follow up videos. Thanks for coming to the convention. Have a good day. Ray

It would be helpful to the curious if EACH model/diorama shown were IDENTIFIED either by a view of its label OR a note on the video noting the Name of model, Name of builder, Scale, etc.. Enjoyed the video, otherwise.
