The fuselage looks good. The carb and machine gun attachments will be an interesting modeling step. 👍 -
I suspect it's insurance to prevent a car using that space for wheel flanges if it rides up on an object in the flangeway. Railroads/railways were notorious belt and suspenders folks. 😄

Lotus 49C by DocRob - FINISHED - Ebbro- 1/20 - Plastic

Nicely done, Rob. 👍 The driver's "office" was so much simpler back then. -
Maybe it was an elevated viewing station/crow's nest. The mast wasn't usable, but elevation was needed to see over whatever was being barged around. Railroad tugs had higher wheelhouses to see over the multiple floats they moved around various harbors.

My gosh, a fire breathing penguin. St Elmo, protect this poor navigator!

I learned the term from railroaders explaining the once widespread heaps in the Scranton-Wilkes Barre area. The heaps are gone now, as is the haze from the heavy industries of that area.

Nice match, John.

Yes, yellows are a pain to paint. Your multiple coats is the best route. The lion as a decal should work.

I salute your machining and soldering skills. Well done.

Those coal spoils look good. Don't know if that stuff could be culm. That was the rock and stone remains around the breakers, after the mine run chunks were broken into commercial sizes and loaded into twin bay open hoppers. There were culm hills in the Scranton area with all the leftovers. Locals mined these hills to extract any remaining hard coal. I had friends who still heated their homes with this anthracite.

She looks good. She worked NY harbor for years.

Those are some beautiful street lamps. 👍
-
I can hear "Proud Mary", the old Creedence Clearwater tune made famous by Tina Turner, playing in the background. Your paddle wheel is coming along nicely.
-
I really like how your barge is progressing. Waiting to see how your load turns out. 👍

Interesting model, Alan. Your choices will look good. Heraldry at these scales will challenge a saint. Lead us on.
-
Just trying to keep the part intact and clean as you remove it from the sprues, let alone cleaning up the remaining nibs on the part. Must be very careful. 🤞

Nicely done. Quite the formidable knight.

We did that to the Cape May, NJ to Lewes, Del ferry with our F-4s. The ferries were visual reconnaissance targets and not to be overflown. Well, most of the time. That's why lieutenants fly with adult supervision.

Fascinating animals out there. Got a high speed tour one weekend, way back when. The giant tortoises were very cool, as were the marine iguanas.

Very nice. I really like your tarp over a load. 👍

What's the mascot on the helmet? Looks like a she-lion or leopard. Or a hound. I read some book once upon a time that said the Plantagenets had leopards on their crests.
-
Nice bit of scratch-building, Andy. 👍
-
Looking forward to the rest of your" rescue", Jimbo.

I'm following, Alan. Interesting character, for sure.
