    Wonderful video guys, you hit it out of the park. Thanks.

      We’ve been so busy with so many things, we really need to get back on that switching yard! And rob almost has the backdrop finished

    Rob did an amazing job with those trees. What a great friend to have.

    Very interesting...you'd never think you'd get trees from the dark blob that you start with! :) Jack

      Jack R it's really cool to see that it's just a process and a fairly easy one to understand! I'm dying to try it but we find ourselves screwing around in Colorado, which is wonderful. We just went to an amazing car show at the Shelby American museum. They wanted $75 a person so we snuck in. Something like six actual cobras to Austin Martin's a wrap Peed and a DB seven, a Ferrari GTO which had to be a reproduction I mean come on. But just amazing stuff

      davie maclean robby can paint a wicked backdrop! Which is about as far removed from his professional life as humanly possible. He was a professional mathematician working for the IRS. Seriously!

      tjorgensen2007 Karen and I are really anxious to try it out! OK not really on the living room wall that was just a joke. I think.

      Nuno Rodriguez wow hello from America! Glad you like the show glad my abuse of the English language isn't too brutal and you can actually understand!

      you sir, do not abuse in the English language, but i have to say, it is an abuse of fun :)
      May i ask if the 3 D program is to much complicated ?

      Gary Sumner next Sunday we're adding some buildings to the back bra. Unfortunately I haven't built the new buildings for the backdrop! But there well into the planning stage and we are testing and hopefully the information gleaned by screwing around with this will be of use to people

    This episode is a keeper. I find the use of that 3 D program you demonstrated, amazing. As you may be aware, computers and I are in a polite relationship. Just so you know, as if you didn't, the segments show very well on the 42 incher in the family room. ROKU does not have that blue button. LOL! Thank you for a great demo. Greg and Jeanne

    • @ToyManTelevision

      Jeanne M. Uzar hi guys I hope all is well! Karyn and I are sitting here watching TV in Denver Colorado having just had dinner in around house! I thought you would enjoy the tree show given your love orchids.

      Need to finish the trees on the backdrop on our layout. Started. Not finished.

      Sailor Boy us too! We're off at the narrow gauge convention in Colorado and just heading home I'm dying to get back to work on the backdrop

    Outstanding! Rob is definitely magnificent at what he does. This has inspired , yet another, background change at Highland Park, Co! I've been painting all my life; but, I had no coaching, until this and the previous video. Thanks to all. I can't wait to get-r-done. Just another excuse to not screw with my hooking up the DCC! Speaking of which, there was a Civil War reenactment at the San Benito County Historic Park south of Tres Pinos, Ca (an hour and a half away) this last weekend and many of us learned there is an HO and N Scale model railroad being built in one of the buildings. I got to see their early track installation and the initial DCC wiring. They're open every Saturday and I may just have to attend every once in a while for educational purposes! It's a sacrifice I'm willing to make. The HO system is really going to be nice! Who da thought?!

      Peter Norkawich i've never thought of myself as a source for a drinking game. But now that you mention it I'll drink to that

  • @justindampier9017
    @justindampier9017 4 роки тому

    I agree. From a far, trunks give a grayish hue. I guess it's the color of the bark and how the light hits it.

    • @ToyManTelevision
      @ToyManTelevision  4 роки тому +1

      And the key is making something that looks right. The light color looks more distant. As you say from distance.. and that is less distracting letting the trains look better.

    Wow, I also had an eclipse moment when the trunks and branches appeared. Before, the biomass was nice, but a bit lacking for a foreground (of a background). After, the trees poped out.
    I think that the blue button is only supported on Ford and Subaru devices (not sure if the BMW one is compatible).

    • @ToyManTelevision
      @ToyManTelevision  7 років тому

      pbyfr it works on all three of our mustangs. And the Seabring and Ford focus. Oddly it doesn't work on anything with a computer in it like a cell phone. I've actually heard that UA-cam changes the interface five times a week. The only thing I find surprising is but it's not six or seven

  • @SkarloeyBoi

    I'm going to have to play around with painting trees. I'm currently using a panoramic photo I took and had printed out 11 feet long, which works for what I'm doing.
    So are you driving South from Inkom at the end of your video?

  • @jaybeckham

    Now for a serious question how would you go about making giant sequoias in HO scale ??????

    • @ToyManTelevision
      @ToyManTelevision  7 років тому

      Klingon 1701 have you seen Al's video on how he makes pine trees? That works in just about any size we've been using his system for making trees on our 20 scale railroad and those trees are about 3 feet tall. Which is about right for a giant sequoia able to Rachel railroad. The bark is a bit tricky everybody has a technique for making really deep groove to bark. My favorite system is to wrap the truck in that green epoxy putty I'm so fond of you know Billy Mays is mighty party. And band pole vertical grooves in them took that with the tool of some sort like a sawblade

  • @tom7601
    @tom7601 7 років тому +1

    Add trees that are half-slow and half-fast. (That's a Louie Armstrong play on words).

    • @tom7601
      @tom7601 7 років тому

      eclemensen
      Supposedly he was playing in a concert for the Queen of England and was told that a certain piece was a tempo the Queen found "uncomfortable." The queen loved music and I doubt the tempo would adversely affect her sensibilities. Anyway, again, supposedly, Louie told his group not to play it too slow or too fast but to play it half-fast.
      That's one of those "That's the way I heered it." :-)
      The quote is on a Louie Armstrong quotes Internet site, but no context is provided.

    • @ToyManTelevision
      @ToyManTelevision  7 років тому +1

      tom7601 i'm very very familiar with that piece of music it's in the key of C however if it's played half fast it sounds like L.

      Now about my other real question . How would you make a giant Sequoia in HO scale .
