That's true ... today. But that monetary benefits equation is changing as we speak, and altering the global economy in the process. And it's most likely going to continue to change, perhaps at an accellerating pace. In one year the price of oil went from ~$70/bbl to ~$140/bbl. The increase...

Is it for Christmas 2008 ... or Christmas 2009?

Has anyone ever modeled Brunel's Great Eastern? I think it was the largest sidewheeler in history. Seems like a great subject - six masts, five funnels, two paddles ... and one propeller!

Congratulations on an outstanding build of a really cool subject. Bravo!

Hey, the Sno-cat is looking great! Nice recovery from the mis-step! Looks like theose compound curves came out very well. I think you are right about the small details, they have an impact disproportionate to their size.

Very convincing work, well done!

Wow! Magnificent weathering/detailing/customizing - almost upstaged by the stunningly realistic layout! Bravo!!!

Terrific build, great photography and graphics! Excellent!

What a clever idea! The car interior really gives the photo "real world" context! Cool shots! :thumb: I do a lot of Photoshopping. May I offer a few ideas on how you can use Photoshop (or whatever graphics app) to heighten the illusion of distance? These are all very subjective effects...

Very cool subject choice! :thumb: I couldn't agree more. I often feel dismay that most modelers and designers concentrate so much on building machines that were designed for injuring and maiming people. The Sno-cat is an excellent example of one of the many, many vehicles that are...

Very nice weathering! Is that HO scale?

Very nice! Lots of great details!

Great idea! I just printed one out, and pasted it on my forehead. :)

Actually, that's what I do! That's why I asked this question. I design architectural card models. If I want to do the equivalent of "running operations" on architecture, I forget about cardstock, and play Sim City on a pc! I could never hope to "manage" (or even build) an entire city in...

Here's something I don't quite understand, can one of you explain this to a non-model railroader? As a card modeler, I can readily understand those who are drawn to MRRing by the aspect of building a functioning world in miniature. But the operations-oriented MRRers are more mysterious to...

Roch, you are, as they say, "a piece of work". Hope you find what you are looking for ... if you even know what it is. Good luck, man. :)

Since you are a model railroader, I'm not sure this will be helpful -- that being said, here is a 1/350 cardstock model of a nuclear power plant, I think it's a Finnish facility. I believe the model goes for about $30.

Great tip! Thanks! I will try this next time I want to search on a key word that's less than four letters. (Aside - I wonder if the reason for the four-letter rule has to do with the hardware performance cost of indexing the forum text?)

In a previous career I was an IT project manager, so I understand all too well the hazards of changing a system that people have adapted to. Considering the limitations of resources involved (time, manpower, funds, hardware), I think the Zealot change-over was actually managed quite well...

*Very* nice work, especially considering the tiny scale! Thanks for giving us a look!
