website OVERHAUL

Aug 13, 2003 3 Replies

Some of you may be aware that I haven't updated my "Niagara & Pearl Creek" website in over a year. I've decided to move the site (yes, it still exists in the old location as well) onto the Bar Mills site (barmillsmodels.com) because it's just easier for me to access. The layout has gained several new areas and has been HEAVILY re-vamped... there are new areas such as "Rigby", "Eleanor", "Old Port", and a revised "Domino SUgar" area... so if you have time, feel free to stop-by. Sorry that you'll have to hit the company site first... but once on it look for the "N&PC" logo... it will direct you to the right part of the site. Thanks... enjoy the visit.

Nice work, Art. You do a lot inb only 5 inches of width!

What is the overall size of the layout? Minimum radious?

Thanks, Jeff Sc. Basement, Ga.

Don't bother to reply via email...I've been JoeJobbed.

The layout is 11x28, but benchwork has varied in width so as to make more demands on the creative aspects of the hobby. Detailing a narrow section takes a different approach than doing a much deeper area of the same layout. The 5-6" deep section (probably more like 6" deep) makes use of cloud stencils, a Walther's backdrop with the sky removed that has been reduced in size and lightly misted with white or gray to introduce atmpospheric "haze", and very shallow half-buildings blended into the background. There is no reason not to be able to build a scene similiar to the "Commercial Street" one using little more than a

1x6 plank!
