  Agreed. It is one thing to make a drawing, because that only involves thinking in two dimensions. Kit design means thinking in three, which is a whole extra level of visualisation and ramps up the number of variables considerably!

  That is very cool layout, as a newbie to this forum I'm intrigued how layouts are made and the amount of patience and skills that are required. I have friends that create 'gaming terrain' where textures/colours are done by hand. I thought the process of producing a layout with a range of different shaped and sized buildings and other features, would be very time consuming to create, after checking out Scalescene I see that there are a few 'shortcuts'. Nevertheless I'm sure plenty of patience and skill are required. One of my next projects (not railway modelling related) is to create a building using a similar technique to that used in this video Printed textures and laser cut building. Scalescene could be a useful site for the future. Fair play for the work on Railway Parade. BTW I love the questionable Billboard advert
