I've never seen it before and it seems to fit in with the rest of the advertising on the structure. As to the smell of the drugstore, I can imagine something like old aftershave, tobacco, and a little window cleaner mixed in. I guess what I meant by the comment initially is that you've done such a good job of creating a believable place that in my mind I can easily imagine what it would be like to step into the place.

Next year's modeling will be even better... Rich Country: USA | Posts: 4621 quartergauger48 Fireman Premium Member Posted - 12/31/2018 :  11:36:45 PM     There must be a reason you are not happy with the sign Bob. I wonder if it is too comedic to fit the theme of the build'..??? Ted Country: USA | Posts: 6099 sgtbob Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/01/2019 :  06:10:47 AM     HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL !!! Thanks for your comments Galen, Pete, Rich, and Ted. The billboard itself is not what bothered me, I love that billboard, I've saved it for years, it was just that I had a certain feeling about the drugstore itself and I was not sure a billboard of any kind looked right. I'm more at ease with it now.

To me it transforms the drugstore to an urban establishment. I now picture it with tall buildings all around.

I have cut it down to this and will most likely tone it down a bit more, will have to play with it. My poor photography adds to the problem. I want to see what it looks like when it's really dark first. Bob http://www.railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=30102 http://www.railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=51837 Country: USA | Posts: 4070 Terrell Fireman Posted - 01/01/2019 :  11:57:48 AM     That's the problem I was having with my grocery lighting, Bob. I had to turn it way down, to where it looked too dim in real life, because the camera tends to intensify it. And even worse in the dark. Country: USA | Posts: 2277 quartergauger48 Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/01/2019 :  1:13:33 PM     Bob, if it is possible on your camera to close down the lens, and or, shoot on (A) Aperture priority, or on the back lighted setting, you will avoid that wash out'... Ted Country: USA | Posts: 6099 sgtbob Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/02/2019 :  11:36:37 AM     Terrell. I think I have it where it will stay now, the whole billboard lights up nicely with no harsh glare when seen with your EYES. The camera still sees it a bit differently. Ted, I just don't seem to have the aptitude for photography. Since I couldn't get out in natural light today I took this quick flash shot. I see there's a big orange cat stre-e-etching out in the window but I think Ill shoo him away. The entire structure has a wash of grime on it.

The whole store looks wonderful! Happy New Year! To you and your wife, I hope 2019 will be a good one for you both! Greg Shinnie Country: Canada | Posts: 8825 Carl B Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/02/2019 :  12:27:58 PM     I just busted a couple buttons on my shirt! Looks great Bob! Country: USA | Posts: 3919 Orionvp17 Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/02/2019 :  12:41:16 PM     Love the structure and the cat! I'd keep the cat, if for no other reason than to annoy the health inspectors. Pete in Michigan Country: USA | Posts: 7347 Guff Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/02/2019 :  1:34:32 PM       Nice!! Happy New Year to you and Anna May! Any thought to your next build?
