Title: The next time you think you are a good modeler----
Post by: Fifer on September 03, 2015, 10:44:31 PM
Take a look at this Pinterest Board!
Most are not trains but we could all learn lessons here. Don't be shy to post some of your favorite pictures from the page either.

There is plenty of great stuff to browse without registering and/or having to log in to sites


I rather like this N gauge US layout and its progress over a long time.

Mike we are in complete agreement. I too was put off by being asked to sign up but agree with Fifer that, from what little I did see, the standards of modelling look very high.

Agreed; it's a shame the site owners take the approach they do  :(

Pinterest is a great resource for all sorts of craft and model making ideas, well worth joining I have to admit. The standard of the model making on the selection mentioned is superb, it is really difficult in many cases to identify if they are models or images of the real thing!! A standard I wish I could get someway towards matching but fear I never will.

best wishes

I've looked at pinterest many times in the past and been put off by having to join just to view content.
I still won't be joining.

I joined using one of my little-used  email addresses so I  wont be swamped by
junk mail. the site is a bit strange , no index or menu , but type in your interests,
what the hell it's a bit of fun.

I use pinterest for a few things (DIY / tiling / house improvement projects etc) and I find it useful. They only send out one email a week with updates on my favourite topics of interest, which is the reason for the sign up.

Some awesome model making going on there!
