I took a cue from Stuart and tried the AI background thing to my Red Oak Garage. I'm not unimpressed.
Here is the original picture.
A bit brighter and more saturation.
It's 1:48 scale but looks 1:1 scale, especially with the addition of the background.
By the way, guys, I've seen that model in person two times. The first was at a National Narrow Gauge Convention and the second was at a modelers' meet at my own house when Chuck and his dad both brought models. I guess you could say that was a pretty inspirational day.

Hi Chuck.
I'm glad that you have made a home for your Fordson.
But apart from that, totally over the top.
Cheers

... and you let him leave again with the model ?
I was able to tackle Chuck's father but Chuck is younger, more nimble, and got away.
Although Chuck's dad suffered two broken legs, a broken arm, various contusions, and a sprained pinkie I was able to steal his diorama before it received any damage. By the way, it was a superb model of the interior of a 1940s-'50s soda fountain. Talent runs in their family.

Nice to see you here Chuck
Also nice to see you trying new things (grin)
I'm sure we all miss you.

Er, Marty, Chuck never went away, unlike someone we could mention ! He might not say much , but when he does we all pay attention .
Nick
Gee Chuck, I feel honored that something I did inspired you. Usually it's the other way around.
Stuart
It's just so realistic!!
Now if we could you to start posting some of your newer work. It would be great.
