A day late and a dollar short but thought I would post up my latest laser kit build. I've been putting together the American Model Builders #619 Country Barn kit. A very nice kit but I have built it outside the box so to speak. I added a floor to the bottom and second floor as well. Also added interior posts and studs. All the coloring has been with chalks so far with the exception of the yellow in the right corner where it meets up with the farm house. Thought I would try to make it look like they have started to paint it to match. Still have some more things to do too it before I call it done.Jon
Completed 3 of Brian's vehicles (except for license plates). These are really nice kits. Left to right: 1950 Chevy, 1950 Nash, 1952 Buick.Olympics done Now lets get back to real hockey! Doug.
Depends on what part of the country he's modeling. Down south, when there was lightening protection, it was usually two short spikes.
Yes, Microscale Krystal Klear. Not the greatest effect, but it works. I heard someone mention another product?Doug.
After changing jobs, moving and just the other normal "life happens" type stuff I was finally able to get an unfinished project back out on the workbench. This is a NYC Niagara based on the KATO GS-4 mechanism utilizing one of Superturbine's shell sets. Finally finished the frame work and this is the "dry fit" test to see how everything lines up. As you can see the mechanims only has enough parts on it to test height and fit. The pilot is just sitting there, need to make a few minor adjustments prior to mounting it. Still a lot of work to do, but I'm feeling motivated and please with the results so far.Phillip
I like it Jon, any chance of a photo of the farm house.
Pledge with Future works too,what you don't use for N scale windows works great on your hardwood floors too.
This is a Twin Cities Zephyr dome obs. The main body is a Kato corrugated release Budd coach. I move the vestibule to the opposite end and then added the observation end from a CZ dome obs. Because the CZ cars have a raised roof aft of the dome section, I had been held up for some time trying to figure out how to lower the roof to get it to match up on this car. Well, I finally started slicing into the roof over the observation end today, and in the process of making the first two cuts it dawned on me that I could just slice it and bend the roof down a bit to match... without having to cut the whole top off. A little styrene filler and we're there.
A good friend of mine owns the real Silver View and he's in the process of restoring it for charter use. Beautiful car!
