Grandma Builds HO Layout With Grandson And Needs Advice

November 10, 2008

Natalie is a 66 year old Grandma and is building a model RR layout with her grandson and would like your help please. Here is what Natalie has to say:

“My grandson and I have been attempting to build an HO model railroad layout. We have the platform made and covered and are experimenting with making our own hills, mountain and rocks from plaster. We are now at the point where we want to realistically paint the items.

Any suggestions from your readers would be helpful. We did make a tunnel successfully but the painting of it does not look real at all (tans, browns and green paint).

Also, I have read on line that people use Photoshop to acquire buildings and houses copies and was wondering if this is a free site? Any help from your readers would be most appreciated by me, a 66yr old grandma and her grandson.”
