Give a man a fire and he'll be warm for a day.
Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

Re: Throttle Up
Hey Tony,
Both of these recent ones you've posted have been gorgeous. I particularly like the density of foliage in this one. One nitpick, should the smoke effect be going straight up? Or should it be curving backwards?

Re: Throttle Up
Thanks. It seems more people like the photo than I do.
Regarding the steam, I was envisioning the locomotive just starting up from a dead stop. Its one ofI the only times a steam engine releases that much visible steam from the cylinders. See this video I took from Railest 2009:

Re: Throttle Up
Aha. See, I learned something new there. I love all of your scenes set in a totally LEGO setting. Someday the admins should discuss making a castle themed calendar along these lines ....
