3D - Help?

3D - Help?

Time to ask for some help. 

This first picture is one I've already posted, however it was suggested
(thanks Liz!) that I ought to stop chickening out and add a train to my
train track. Well, I did, and this is how it came out....

Not very train-like. So, can anybody help? The only limitation is that the
pattern of the train repeats itself in the same number of spaces as the 
above. If you can fit in any one-line graffiti, then award yourself a prize!


On the subject of failed drawings, I finally realised why the starfield
looked wrong, STARS ARE AT INFINITY SO STARFIELDS ALL LOOK FLAT, AAARRRGGHH!
Still, no reason why I can't stick something 3D over a flat starfield in 
the distance I s'pose. Seeing as I worked on it for a some time, would 
anyone like these stars? They are in 3D, although they look quite pretty
when viewed normally!

It's only a simple field, with each star on a separate line, I didn't
bother trying to overlap any layers, I didn't have the time! 

Somebody tell me to stop reading the Newsgroups.......
