I decided to finally take some pics of a couple of train buildings I
have built-- in the snow:-)  Didn't take too much time to set them up,
but I think they turned out fun just the same.

My favorite is the shot of the icicles that actually formed on the train
station while I was shooting:-)

Enjoy!

These photos are very cool. ;-)

Ben Beneke has inspired a new world of LEGO photography for us.
I like it.

As I don't have a LEGO town built up, nor a large LEGO train layout, it is • a
nice variation to photograph our models in the out of doors.

The snow is a nice touch!

Yeah the snow is a nice touch, as long as it's in your back yard and not
mine. I'm sorry, but if it's cold enough to be forming icicles in the short
time you were outside taking pictures, I think I'd pass on going outside.

lol, Yeah, it was cold, but I like the natural light:-)  The indoor ones I took
(but didn't post) were boring:-/

The tower looks great, the gray roof looks awesome.

Thanks, but it would look much better (and more prototypical) if the slopes
were 33° instead of 45° (I have an alternate roof built for the tower in 33° in
red, but red doesn't cut it-- gotta be gray)


Is that the model of the Soo Line tower from Eau Claire?
