Andrew, Tell me how you did those stripes.  I plan on making one of those SAL cars too one day.

Here's a Clerihew about Ed. K.

Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
But mention his law
and you've pulled your last straw!

Alternate version:
Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."

Not nearly as impressive as some of the modeling this week, but here is my feeble contribution.

Line side details are often forgotten, particularly electrical relay boxes. I recently found a good deal on these Monopoly Hotels.  While they scale out small, with a little work, they can make a good stand in for signal boxes.


I ground off the "chimney" and painted it with Testors Aluminum

I call foul! Every kid who has played Monopoly knows you aren't allowed to put hotels on the railroads....

Seriously  - clever re-use of unusual material!

I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.

Neat!  Didn't know those existed.  I'll have to pick some up.  And here I was about to complement you on your freehand decal work.   :D

You also need to build evenly so there should be at least 4, but possibly 8 houses next to that.

Not exactly modeling per se, but I discovered Esther's Hobby Shop in Pittsburgh this weekend.  Significant damage to the credit card, which is still smoldering...  :facepalm:
