Steam engines are the neatest engines devised by man. All the appliances and appurtenances are out side the boiler, so you see most of the moving parts. I had several classes about steam in college. Most of my classmates went to work in industry and spent more time working with steam. I dig steam locomotives; the sounds of that engine as he built steam is sooo familiar. Thank for including it, Keith. Merry Christmas to all and a prosperous New Year.- 732 replies

This has turned out so cool. Hope the vessels aren't too much of a pita to arrange.😄

Well done, Chris.

Well done McLaren, Rob. Yes the red was fooling my eyes in the initial pics as an orange. I vaguely remember watching a Marlboro car zip around the track in Zaandvoort, Holland in the 75-76 time frame. A handful of us aviators decided to go to a few F1 races and the Dutch Grand Prix was easy for us to go from our base in Germany. I think we went to the Nurburgring and decided it wasn't fun, because we saw so little of that race.

Good looking P-40K Kittyhawk model. I've been delving into this whole series of aircraft. I think the Ks were one of of the largest classes.

Nicely done. The Campbell kits had some of the best instructions and added some techniques to the builder's bag of construction tricks.
-
Glad I could help. 😄
-
Rob, very nicely done. The Ma👍rlboro scheme is classy.
-
I believe your colors are appropriate for the mid 1700s. I refer to the decorations and paints used at Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia. They do extensive research in that pre-American Revolutionary period.

Roden is hit or miss for their kits. Popeye/Denis has built some and he has had similar issues. Unfortunately for us builders, they make some interesting subjects.

That's pretty much what I've seen and heard about painting resin kits. I just got a freight car in a 3D print. Cleanup was removing sprue/print finger artifacts and a wash in Dawn and warm water. The resin felt sticky right out of the box. Tamiya fine primer to cover. Some paints don't stick to these resins, so why take a chance as you discovered with this body..
-
Craig, did this gentleman say what type of resin had this issue. I've shot Tamiya primers onto styrourethane resin with no reaction. Maybe he's talking about the resins used in 3D printing. The resins I've worked with have been generally from flat molds, so older type resins. I do have a few new cars that are 3D prints, but they're not ready for paint yet. Then again. I'm not using the more exotic paints on a railroad freight car. Rusty reds, grimy blacks and assorted grays. 😎

He's gutsy, not being tied onto that infernal drone. Or in communication with the .... drone pilot. Hope he's got a parachute. 😁 -
Coming along nicely, Andy. Paint looks very good. 👍
-
Gutsy move, Mike. Glad it all fit together. The Czechs are really good with their aftermarket aircraft parts. This is shaping up well.
-
Your build is progressing nicely. You're most fortunate to find those tiny details. Most usually sail off to another dimension.
-
I think you got the idea across with this one, Rob. Really nicely done.👍

I was #5, based on birthdays, in the 1969 draft lottery, but since I was in AF ROTC, I took the money in our house pot and bought a keg. Well, I graduated in June '70 and went off to get my wings, forgetting the old lottery. I was in the midst of checking out in the Phantom and had already been promoted to real Lieutenant. My dad called one night, laughing and said you've been drafted, Lieutenant. I had him send me the paperwork to see what this silliness was. After I got that letter, I roamed around the base with my front-seater Clay, one day and filled out some form and Clay signed it. Clay was already a Captain. Never heard from them again.

Alan, think I'll tag along to see this build. I've seen their aftermarket goodies, but never a full build.
