  Re: A lil' Mountain with10 Tunnel Portals
 
(...) Oh come on people, Lar was expressing his *opinion*. But Lar, I gotta say, water is painted blue on most of the layouts I've seen, scale MR or not. An example: (URL) on our M>ltc layout (URL) snow tipped mountain was only barely taller than (...) (20 years ago, 4-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.indylug)

(...) Why is a "Disneyish" bad? You make it seem that non-real world accurate scene elements are bad and should never be modelled. I like the look of a "Disneylike" exaggerated scene, maybe that's why I like the Disney parks so much. -Orion (20 years ago, 4-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.indylug)

(...) Here in Colorado, we get frozen waterfalls that are blue, bright vivid gorgeous blue. It's amazing. Agreed about the snow line- better to have a patch of snow in a gulley or valley- a little tiny glacier. Beautiful work- I'm jealous! I don't (...)

(...) Toylike - now I'm laughing, it is a toy! Of course it won't matter. That layout is going to rock!!! -Patrick (20 years ago, 3-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.indylug)
 
  Re: A lil' Mountain with10 Tunnel Portals
 
(...) Whereas I like trans with blue underneath or transblue, I think it looks more like water, since water is transparent. Having blue bricks underneath the transparent layer makes it look blueish but not solid. (...) Which is probably why I would (...) (20 years ago, 3-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.indylug)
 
  Re: A lil' Mountain with10 Tunnel Portals
 
snipped (...) Odd you should say this. I really like the look of the blue water cascading down the mountain and the way the light reflects off the sloped bricks. It's going to take a tall, tall mountain to really justify a snow cap. Wouldn't you (...) (20 years ago, 3-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.indylug)
 
  Re: A lil' Mountain with10 Tunnel Portals
 
Thanks to everyone for the kind remarks on the mountain. To answer a few questions: I don't know if I was going for scale compression as much as I was just going for artistic expression. It does give you the impression of some distance from front to (...) (20 years ago, 3-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.indylug)
 
  Re: A lil' Mountain with10 Tunnel Portals
 
Brian, That's a great mountain & layout. I can see kids' eyes popping and jaws dropping. It looks like you used some scale compression on the mountain slopes to make it appear taller - is that right? Try taking some pics from a kid's approximate eye (...) (20 years ago, 3-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.indylug)

"Larry Pieniazek" <larry.(mylastname)@...e.DOT.com> wrote in message news:IBCp8t.3Co@lugnet.com... (...) Hmm, I'm calling BS here. There is a river in Colorado with so much of a certain kind of mineral content in it that the water is indeed blue. (...) (20 years ago, 3-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.indylug)
 
  Re: A lil' Mountain with10 Tunnel Portals
 
(...) It's big, it's cool, and there's lots to like. The roadway and parking lot, for example are really neat. Always glad to see people building mountains. Spotlighted! I have a couple of bones to pick though... Water isn't blue. I think it's much (...) (20 years ago, 3-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.indylug)
