My Drawings

LOL...yeah...impatience is not good for an artist.

I have been trying to convince my wife to give me one of the bed rooms to turn into a mini city. I want to build buildings, and mountains, and take my hot wheels cars and use them as the scale models. She won't let me, but I am considering taking over part of the garage for it.


Sound’s like fun. You could make one of the town where you live like in Beetlejucie. ;)
My Dad has a huge collection of Lionel trains and accessories. As a kid we would always run them on the floor of the living room. Growing up we were always going to build a layout like the ones we would see down in San Diego at this train museum in Griffith park. But my Mom would never let it happen. She actually wanted to park her car in the garage.(Can you believe the nerve.) So anyway last year I talked my girlfriend into letting us put a layout out in our garage. It's still a work in progress but it is coming along. We finally got the down town to light up witch makes it fun to run in the dark. Some nights I'll just kick back in the garage with a few cold ones and play with the trains. It's actually kind of fun and quite relaxing.

See, that's exactly what I want to do. I want to run a couple trains through it too.
I actually thought about building a shed in the back yard for that sole purpose. But I don't have enough room to make it worth while.

Some day I hope you’re able to. It's a fun hobby with an endless amount of landscapes to make with it. As you know you just need a space.

I actually drew a small scale city that I wanted to build and was planning to put a running river through it.

What material would you use for the basic landscape? Molded styrofome?

If you’re going to be using water that's a good question I've never seen anyone try that. Chicken wire and paper mashie work well in dry areas. There are some good books on the subject you might want to read.Amazon.com: Build a Better Toy Train Layout: Books: John Grams,Dick Christianson (http://www.amazon.com/Build-Better-Toy-Train-Layout/dp/0897784790/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_b/002-4395134-7356858)

I think I'm going to buy that! Great link! Thanks.

I got my wife to agree to letting me have the garage to do this!!! hehe.

Geez, Js, what a talent!!

I have have only met one person who could even come close to drawing that good (and you're still way better)

Props!

It would be nice to see a mean Ronnie Van Zant! Just a thought from the SOUTH....not bad.

Thank you.
With the exception of Thomas Kinkade, all the artwork in my house is mine. (I forgot I have a couple Kinkade's in the bedroom...it's the "theme". I even have the border was thomas kinkade...and a throw.)

Very nice work jsarno. I couldn't draw that stuff if I went to school until I was 90.
