Model Railroad Hobbyist | August 2015 | #66 WHAT’S NEAT WITH KEN PATTERSON Ken Patterson column Helicon Focus, carving foam, laser tools ... This months “What’s Neat” video has seven segments and as many interesting train runbys. We cover a lot of ground in ways we simply can’t do with text and still photos. We talk about laser levels, foam carving tools, model- ing from photos, and laser meters.. We visit Dirk Reynolds’ bedroom-size layout. We cover night photography. I show in real time how to use the Helicon Focus depth-of-field stacking program, and we watch an entire automotive parts train made by Mike Budde.
