Herc...May God watch over you and keep you till your return. The same goes for all of our brave men and women around the globe. We'll be thinking about you!

Kurt, believe it or not, I remember you suggesting it, and I have even thought about it.....................once or twice.............ok, once:winker::gaptooth:. I managed to get the lower cross-bracing cut and glued on. I then cut and glued together the upper truss sections. They aren't...

Gus....Thank you:thumb::thumb::thumb:....The sad fact is, there is really NO place for it on the up-coming layout. I am however, having a great time building it:winker::thumb:. Perhaps I will just display it in the Train (family) room. Deano...:eek: With all of your skill and...

Deano!! I'm glad that you're back!:thumb::thumb::thumb::winker: Don't know what you are talking about......Those pics look pretty good to me!:thumb::thumb: MET.....Modesto & Empire Traction......It's a Class III shortline operating in California's SanJoaquin Valley....the same family has...

Gus....that's downtown Columbus

Kurt...Thank you for those gracious words, my friend:thumb: Bernhard...It has been a while since I visited your various scratch-building threads. I really can't put into words the beauty and ingenuity of all your work. I am really just in awe of your talent and dedication to your...

George....I like it!!!:thumb::thumb: Looks like a perfect little stand:thumb: When you say "transfers" from your printer, do you mean signs that you printed on regular paper or some type of decal? If paper, than I would follow Ralph's advice......you might try LIGHTLY sanding the front of...

Deano... Thought you'd get a kick outta this.... I had the day off and the kids start back to school in a few days, so I thought that we would go and have lunch with my wife downtown where she was working. I knew of a nice park on the river that I always wanted to take a few pics at but never...

Thank you Bernhard....that means alot coming from you:thumb::thumb::thumb:! Still lots to go on this kit yet... My original thought was that the shed was going to be the most beat up part of the structure, so with that in mind, I proceeded to really rust up the roof and also bend it here and...

Scott...You are way too kind! Thank you so much:thumb::thumb::thumb: jxn1138...Thank you!!!!!!!!! I put the bins together and attached them. The templates did not match the width of the pre-cut openings (luckily I had extra material). Just a few pics: I don't know what I...

I finished the bracing and then decided to try and get the panels to look a little less "blotchy" (kind of blend things in a little better). I used dark gray and black chalk for this part of the weathering job. Now it was time to put the four walls together. You can see the bin floor in...

Pete...Those are words to live by! Progress: All I got done was some hidden bracing and the interior supports for the bin floor....nothing worthy of pics. I hope to have something worth seeing in a day or two. Take care

Pete...I don't know how you have time to post with everything you have going on!!!:winker::gaptooth: Well the weather was beautiful this weekend and my daughter's birthday party was Saturday, but I still managed to get a little something done. I got started on the bin wall.......what I found...

CNWman...Thanks for stopping by and also for the encouragement!:thumb: I agree that the scene you discribed would be perfect! Doc...the reason that I Dullcoat before painting is becuse I have found that my cheapo acrylic paints sometimes don't "grab" on really shiny plastic. The Dullcoat seems...

Great pics everyone!:thumb::thumb::thumb: Sweet shot Gus!!!!!:thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb:

Deano...Thank you very much, my friend!:thumb::thumb::winker: This is just a quickie update: I figured while I was painting, I would do the windows and door. First the parts as they come (white plastic): First thing I did was Dullcoat everything. Next I airbrushed them black. After...

Gus, I am just so glad that you made it through OK, my friend:thumb: Hang in there buddy!!!

Doc...it would be a shame to lose that layout....I always felt that it was kin to my (now defunct) layout. I know the feeling......... Weathering.... First I sprayed all the panels with Dullcoat After drying, I sprayed on a light gray. When that was dry I gave it an India ink wash with the...
