That sounds like great news about the Walthers Auto carriers. I hope someone post info about it when they see it for sale. If I do I'll be sure to let all know. Dave

Badyin, I didn't see it listed, just looked. Do you have a link? Dave

Here is a sample of a car carrier I'm working on. I wanted to wait till I was done to post but since there was a discussion on this before I figured I would post it now. I've got a lot to do to the truck before it is done but so far I'm happy with the way it is looking. I no next time I'll...

I'm now building a NMRA standard module for a local modular group. I've joined the NMRA and with that I'm now a member of the local modular group so I started a module for that. I'll post some of that when I get photos. Dave

Thanks for the nice comments guys. I've not worked on this for a long time but I hope to get back to it after the holidays. Dave

Here is an update to the diorama I've been working. I've still not been able to get the dirt and gravel to look dry after I glue it into place. I've had to go over the areas with powders and such to get the dry look you see here. I've still got a lot to do but I wanted to share what's been...

I was so impressed with the work done by Ken ) it motivated me to get on with the DPM kits I had. The one thing was I didn't want to end up with the stock building I too was going to kitbash the kits I have as well. I'm not sure I'm going to end up with anything as nice as Ken did but I'm sure...

really nice work Wayne! Dave

Wayne, Great post, I wanted to know if you have a problem with the ballast or dirt looking wet when you soak it with the wet glue. I noticed the ground foam looks good but the dirt is and ballast is still wet looking. I'm adding to those areas after it's dry and that works but the little...

One thing I did notice was the road shouldn't stop at the sidewalk, the sidewalk should stop at the road. I've gone in and cut out the sidewalk and will continue the road to the intersection. Who knows what I was thinking.

Good points, I don't know what is a good ratio of water to glue and I didn't know it's best to first spray the materials before gluing. I like the idea of alcohol but I'm not sure if I should replace all the water with alcohol or just some part. Dave

Here are a few updated photos of what I've been doing. The roads are still wet and I'm sure they will be a lot lighter color when dry. Comments, good or bad, are always welcome. Dave

I wanted to know what tricks are used to keep from having scenery look like it’s when you glue the scenery materials like grass and dirt. I’ve found that the scene looks like it just rained but I was hoping to get the scene to look like a dry summer day. Anyone have tips or would like to share...

Well, it's been some time since I've posted anything on this model. I've done some detail work on the project and if you want to see a bunch of photos check it out on my site at http://rbdhd.t35.com/societyHillThouse/. Also, here are a few shots of the diorama I finally am getting started...

I'm here just been doing some gardening and my model time has drifted to some military models the past month. I've has some fun with that but I'm getting back into the train models so it will not be long before I'm back into the quarry project. I've been thinking about how I can get the...

Jim, The log truck looks really good and I like what you did to make the tire look as if it's been in the mud all day. What did you use to make the muddy look? Dave

Well, I got side tracked and have not done the weathering to the truck because the quarry project has not made any progress. I've just been thinking about getting back into the quarry project so this will be a part of that. I'll be sure to post what progress is made when I get back to it. Dave

I got the Kit on eBay or train show. Walthers stopped selling this kit but you can check their site as they sometimes will sell items again. Dave

Here is an update to the Terex Dump I've bashed. I got it white but I didn't like the way the white ended up chalky when it dried. I hope when I spry future on it for the decals that or the dullcoat will seal it. I have some more details to completed and then it time to weather it. Comments...

Here is an update to what I've got done so far. I plan on a few more details and then it's time to paint it. Let me know what you think. Here is a shot of the bottom side. You can see where the hydraulic hoses will connect. I have some product I found at Micheals Arts & Crafts store that...
