I never liked the card computor anyway!<BR/><BR/>Talking of the pleasures of traditional home made scenery: The staff at the Model raiway museum near Abingdon told me that Horshair degenerated after 20-30 years so they never use it now.<BR/><BR/>One of the few pleasures of growing older is that the scenery is now likely to outlive us , so no worries about horsehair or foam.johnpreecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05548014163096067684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190409787968119430.post-24582036172885580682008-07-28T22:36:00.000-07:002008-07-28T22:36:00.000-07:00Sorry I've been a bit slow to comment - it's all t...Sorry I've been a bit slow to comment - it's all these green bathroom sponges getting in the way of my keyboard...<BR/><BR/>It's great to see the home-made approach to scenery, and I was thinking of doing something similar myself.
