CLINIC: Model Railroading as Art
DAY: Saturday	TIME: 1:00-2:00p	ROOM: Auditorium
DESCRIPTION: In addition to the enjoyment we get from building and operating our layouts, we can also do so through the simple act of viewing them. In other words, thinking of them as we would a piece of art. If we do so, then the same principles used in the art world can be applied. The clinic covers subjects such as color treatment, scene composition, backdrops, and photographic presentation.

He writes frequently for the hobby press and is the owner of The Shelf Layouts Company, Inc. (www.shelflayouts.com) a custom layout building and design firm. Lance lives in Silver Spring, MD and has one grown son, Zachary, who often accompanies him to model railroading events.
