    G`day Folks,
    I have a rather simple method here for you to enhance or change the the look of your model railway background.
    The method involves adding images over the top of a standard background which in the end , if successful, gives an individual look to the whole thing.
    The background below was constructed using this method

    The video hopefully will give a better understanding of how it`s done.

    No worries Graeme.....:thumbs:
    Not my original idea.......this has been around for a long time......it`s just worth reminding people of what`s possible, otherwise it will get lost in the ideas archive forever and a day.

    Hi Gormo.

    I think you will need a larger shed. I know what you are thinking. How good is that!!

    My apologies for the tones in the photos. This is due to the fires.

    Ah yes Steve,
    That`s about the right size although Rutherford is a bit too far to travel.....:scratchchin:
    The bush fires can`t be helped.......we actually had clear air today in Sydney.....Wow!!!.....almost forgot what it tasted like.????
