    Hi there guys. Good to see you're all still live and splashing. Some of you might remember me from all my portfolio art i posted. I also talked about a HO scale train landscape I was building. Well that was over a year ago and I felt it necessary to give a report.

    Eugene's train model is finally finished and I will post some shots soon. I am very happy with the result and so is Eugene. It is of an elaborate piece of Garden Route coastline with waves, caves and waterfalls. (and when the track is clean , trains!)

    I just recently started with an internship in 3d modeling and animation for a company I hope to work for and that is also great news for me. We also moved into a new place and I am eagerly reading through your pond filtration advice for a pond setup that is long overdue.

    Later guys

    Thanks for all the compliments guys. And thanks GDJ for the pre-emptive pic post.

    Ill be sending more photos as soon as the final things are on it. Eugene was very supportive throughout the project and let me go wild with the landscape. I'm particularly proud of the sea there are really nice areas and I've never seen a coastline train-scape before. We got the tracks working this past weekend and I stuck down the trees and walkways. Eugene will be putting together a working ferris-wheel with lights himself and hes got over 10 scale convertibles.

    I am still putting together the hot nudists that will be cajoling around the beach and river. He He He He

    My poor fish have been through a rough move but are okay now. Bless my hardy cold water guppies.
    Thanks for remembering me guys.
