    USS Tarawa LHA1 1/200

    The one thing the model needs a lot of is strength. As it's weight will tend to move things about. So added card isn't a bad thing.. Looks great by the way.. Does the kit come with the flight deck weathered or did you do that yourself?

    Great work as always. I'm just wondering have you used up a printer yet printing all this out. I know that cartridges can get ate up pretty quickly but I'm thinking you may also be going through printers too to keep up the accuracy?

    Paper Pinball Machines

    Very cool machines. You'll note though that the table 'playing surface' follows the top of the box. During vigorous play the ball can some times hit the glass cover. You'll note also that the 'Box' is a complete box. The coin slot area you have is a bit bigger then the rest of the box. It is a...

    Just out of curiosity how many pages do you have for the various sections you have completed? Or how many pages of instructions for the whole engine have you done so far?

    W&N Branch Layout

    You will need a bit more space to get by the peninsula. Looks like you have about 4-6" space. I know it's just starting out. However you may need to reduce it to a point to point to keep the layout the same shape. Stopping the layout at both ends so you can get around what you have already done...

    Freshwater Freighters?

    They're called Lakers (not the basketball team hehe). As the bridge is at the front (bow) of the ship not the stern. You may want to check out this site. Great Lakes Modeling Association They don't do paper models specifically but they do have plans that you can work from. Plus the wood...

    Fill in the blanks, Please

    The 'N' refers to Narrow Gauge. That is it would be HO size bit HO Narrow Gauge. So for HOn3 that's the same track spacing as N gauge but the rolling stock is HO size. The ties are HO too. Just the spacing is 'N' or Narrow Gauge. Track width is not the same as running a HO train with N scale...

    Very cool. I should think aluminum foil could do the trick too. Gift wrap has a bit more stamina though and take the handling/movement a lot more. I'll be keeping my eyes glued to this 'new' thread...

    OMG!!! That's awesome.. Glad to see you back at it again. How did you do the 'chrome' around the driver? I know you can get chrome leaf material for doing cars with? So so glad to see you back again. So looking forward to the updates.
