Looking great, Peter!

Thank you!

The murals do look great. Thanks for sharing.

[@ChicagoSubNScale]

Thanks! I’m very happy with it and think it’ll look awesome once I’ve printed the decals and blended them in

Most people hide their helices; but I like the idea of allowing people to see the trains as they climb or descend the helix. Is there any way to curve the Perspex (plexiglass) ?

[@ChicagoSubNScale]

It can be fun watching the trains, plus it also makes it easier to see if a train derails. I’ll be using thinner Perspex that can bend easier. I’ll make a frame for it to keep it in shape and to protect it, just need to work out what materials to use for that.

The mural tutorial will be great, I have a couple of feet of wall that would look good with some. Still not putting graffiti on any cars!

[@ChicagoSubNScale]

I’ll see if I can put something together soon - just haven’t had time this past weekend! Yes, organised murals are quite different to graffiti - there is some amazing graffiti, but technically it is still vandalism- however, I can’t see the railroad painting over that Homer one!

Mike, you’ll be pleased to hear the first part of the tutorial is almost ready (the Photoshop bit). This afternoon I printed the decals on clear decal paper, and tonight I actually applied the decals to the walls!
