Because wiring is the least favourite part of model railroading for me plus I'd rather not screw up my layout by making mistakes, I've started making tiny dioramas to perfect the techniques I will use on my "real" layout.
That's not particularly noteworthy, but I've noticed an aversion to using paper to model anything. I'm not really opposed, so I played around to see what I could come up with. It's certainly not my best paper modelling, but given that I spent around 45 minutes designing and colouring them on a whim, I think that paper shouldn't be discounted out of hand.
Also, the chain-link fence is made of tulle, which cost me about 75 cents for 2m, which is waaaay cheaper than photoetched brass. Should you be interested in a lengthy essay on the subject of my diorama, have a look at the website or feel free to ask any questions.
