Need a sign?

DO you need a sign for your layout, help yourself, just save these images to your computer and print them in color...

The secret to placing these on walls so they look like they were painted on is to sand the back of the printed sign so that it is almost transparent. Place the sign on the wall using a diluted white glue and using a stipple paint brush, gently push the sign into the bricks or surface of the wall. Then using a diluted paint color identical to the wall color "wash" the sign so that it blends in enough not to lose what the sign shows but makes it look like the wall surface is coming through the sign... Have fun...

Product Review - Troels Kirk DVD - Realistic color for Model Railroading

Greetings,
I just received Troels Kirk's new DVD on realistic color for Model Railroading.

I really enjoyed this video because it takes a different approach towards modeling in that Troels uses broad area painting techniques and an artist approach, which includes the use of basic colors to mimic weathering and realistic modeling. These techniques produce fantastic results.

For those who do not know Troels, he is a danish artist painter, living in southern Sweden. in my opinion, Troels has one of the finest model Railroads on the planet. To view this spectacular work of art go here...
