Finally got around to upgrading my existing LEGO containers and rolling stock to Maersk spec and made a couple of new open sided ones. Large Thanks very much for the raffle CopMike. :cheers: Well done to everyone for your excellent containers. :classic:

Wow, very impressive. Top job. :classic:

You've got a nice setup there, Big Cam. Filtering through the white paper on the sides would be diffusing the light not changing it's hue to a significant degree. Different light sources have a distinct colour tone known as the colour temperature: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_temperature Some lights give a blue tinge (eg neon light) and others a yellowish hue (eg incandescent or tungsten bulb). Your camera probably has a "white balance" setting that allows you to compensate for this with various setting for the different light settings so that your whites appear white rather than shifted one way or another by your light source. Many cameras also have a Auto White Balance which you can set by taking a full frame picture of some white card or piece of paper. The camera then uses this a reference so that your whites come out white. I'm currently using a couple of those newer light bulbs that have a halogen lights inside the regular light bulb and once I've got the exposures right I don't really feel the need to change the colour balance either in the camera or after shooting. :classic:

Great job with the mini city, Fugazi. :classic:

I really like the way it all fits together. It's a great little town. :classic:

Magnificent work, dongo. Are there any minifigs inside the horse? Great creation. :classic:

Great to see another historic local brand on your nice new depot, LT. Our street directory when we were growing up had a raft on the back with those Ampol barrels for floatation. :big grin: Looking forward to seeing it all come together in your layout for the show. :classic:

Another excellent mini-modular puddleglum. Great job. :classic:

Love your work, LT12V. Fantastic station with lots of great detailing. Very well done. :classic:

Great work, MostlyTechnic. :classic:

Looking great, LT. That little photocopier is cool. :classic:

Wishing you all the best for the build, LT. 8-wide leaves plenty of room for detailing. I look forward to watching your progress. :classic:

Great little food van, Spacey Smoke. Very nicely done. :classic:

These are awesome, Catty. Keep it up. :classic:

Great work, toorayay. No concerns about the colour at all. Very well done. :classic:

LOL. Nice bump. :-) We had some HO/OO trains when we were growing up, just a basic layout on an old door but it was fun. Thanks Dad. Had a look at some HO/OO and N scale stuff a few months back but I decided that Lego was doing a pretty good job emptying my wallet already. I'd love a G-scale layout one day. The ultimate would be a real garden railway, 1 foot or 15 inch gauge live steam but that's just dreaming. :classic:

Looking good, LT. Will you be incorporating this into a larger group layout for the train show? :classic:

Nice progress, mate. Can't wait to see the finished article. :classic:

I used the fastest (most expensive) shipping option and it came by UPS, which gets handed on to Qantas couriers. I could track the parcels all the way through the UPS website via the link I was sent with my order shipment confirmation. :classic:

Excellent signal box. Very well done. Can't wait to see your station in the same style. :classic:

Wow. The station, the train with automatic doors, the whole layout with that fantastic suspension bridge. Thanks for the pics and the video. :classic:

Very nice job, mate. :classic:

Hi LT, Thought I'd quote the pic over to the next page for further discussion. I was wondering about the yellow bank towers at either side of the bike shop. Have you considered giving the post office side a "paint job" to reflect their livery and differentiate it from the bank whilst retaining the architectural form. :classic:

Look forward to the update, it's a truly magnificent model already. :classic:

Nice addition to your NASA collection, Teazza. :classic:
