  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)

"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)

(snip). Is this going to NMRA? (...) Ok, I was watching a show on the Canadian midwest provinces around Banff the other day. That water is blue, and an amazing one at that. Now, if you wanna argue the clear brick for water--go to Lake Tahoe. Scott (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
 
(...) 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)

(...) 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
 
(...) 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 (...)

(...) 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)

(...) 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)

(...) (URL) That appears to be on a backdrop, am I missing where the water is on the scenery? MR here in the states seems to run an article about how to do polyurethane (clear) water with fair frequency so I 'm not sure I agree with your limited (...)

SNIPPIFICATION (...) Hey! *I* criticized... okay so it wasn't what you might call constructive, but then I'll put an addition. You need to open that canyon box and change that black facet on the end coach to a grey one. IMO, it isn't worth the (...) (20 years ago, 4-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
