Clinics
Tips and Tricks given by Bruce DeYoung
Bruce De Young, VP and AP Chair for
the GSD will present a clinic “Modeling Tips & Tricks.”
Whether your interests are in
scenery, construction or model building, this clinic will show you some neat
“tips and tricks” to make your work easier and more pleasing to the eye. No
matter your level of experience, this clinic will send you home with new ideas
you want to try on your own.
3D building
from Photos given by Jimmy Judge
Jimmy’s description of
the clinic:
“Have you ever wanted to
make a model of a building for your layout, but you don't feel you have enough
skills to create something out of wood or styrene? Why not take some digital
photos of the building, print them out and create a 3D version of it for your
layout? I'll show you how with a little work on your computer to bring the
building from the digital world into the real world. I'll even let you in on a
little secret to get the photo editing software for free. Model railroaders like
free don't they?”
Then two short
clinics
Live Steam

“ Have you ever wondered what it
takes to get a model live steam engine running on your garden layout?
