Charlie Shows His Scenery Making Skills

November 18, 2005

Charlie Comstock is a keen model railroading enthusiast who has his own model train webpage.

On his webpage called “Charlie’s Railroad Page” he has included several photos worthy of a good look. Among them are these two showing scenery construction using stryofoam sheets.

Here is an snippet from Charlie’s website:

Hillmovers Construction Co. has finally commenced operations around the hamlet of Shelburn (between Bear Creek and Mill City). Although far from finished the basic ground contours are in place and some trees and buildings temporarily placed to help show how it will look when done.
I’ve continued using .060″ styrene sheet for backdrops and just located a supplier that is quite cost effective. Since my backdrops are typically less than 16″ high I can slice each 4×8 sheet into 3 strips getting 24′ of backdrop from each sheet.

These photos show the scenery under construction.
