Happy Friday everyone! Welcome back to the Modelers Interchange – your weekly digest of some of the most interesting and well-discussed posts on modeling social media this past week. Challenge breeds creativity and that creativity has been evidenced in your posts! Got a project you'd like to share, but not already coupled up to our online community? Just click here and enjoy!
The Edge of Night
Cy Bruno brings a glimpse of trains at twilight in this stunning layout photo. Working lights are easy to install in scenery and most structures, and combined with adjustable room lighting, capture the drama of railroading after dark in any scale!
Have Tools, Will Model
Rocking a realistic-looking ravine, @gregorybaker1981’s track work is underway. Making sure you have the right tools for the job, like his Xuron track cutter, is critical to success. This post is a two-parter, be sure to “swipe” (click the small arrow) to the right of the first image to see overhead view of the turnout.
Background Check
Small in size, big on detail, this neat kitbash by Steven Hamilton shows even the smallest trackside space can be put to work! By mixing, matching or modifying parts, virtually any structure can become a background building.
A Nice Place To Visit
We could get lost in this photo for days. Modeling beautiful little worlds is only the beginning of the journey. Let your imagination punch the ticket to all the adventures these worlds hold within. Thanks for tagging us @jakesussmanlive!
Great Start to Great Finish
Starting with a stock WalthersMainline SD70Ace, builder George Athanasoulis went all-out on his HO model, adding the WalthersMainline Diesel Detail kit, modified Athearn PTC antenna, Micro Scale and Shellscale decals, plus a host of add-on parts.
Each week we're witnessing some amazing modeling work on display, which is critical in these extraordinary times. Keep modeling and keep sharing. Your work is an inspiration to us and to others as well. And be sure to tag @Walthers or use the hashtag #Walthers for a chance to be featured!
