I took a cue from Stuart and tried the AI background thing to my Red Oak Garage. I'm not unimpressed.

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

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.

Er, Marty, Chuck never went away, unlike someone we could mention !  He might not say much , but when he does we all pay attention .

Gee Chuck, I feel honored that something I did inspired you. Usually it's the other way around.
