Title: employing the spider
Post by: chester on August 10, 2014, 09:15:10 AM
In photographing the Model T grain truck here (1/87 Jordan with scratched bed), I did not notice the work of a resident spider until I uploaded the photos into the computer. Which poses the question: Did Mr. Doan actually create his spider webs or has he a friendly Charlotte also?  ;)

Yours are much more authentic Chester! I had a little one in my engine house once, but the webs didn't prove durable. Great picture!

That looks great! The webs actually add to the atmosphere of the scene. On my layout they usually look more like something out of a cheesy horror movie.

Excellent photo Chester.   Make sure you feed that spider and keep him on the payroll.
