  1. OC, I like your dio at a slant. Looks better than the straight away version; better visual interest.
  2. Another trick for snipping small parts off their sprues is to do that inside a large, clear plastic bag. May want to "liberate" one of the large Ziploc or similar bags from the pantry.
  3. Ron, some good ideas for ensuring flatness. I've been fortunate to have a friend who repaired copiers/printers once upon a time. He gave me some of the glass plates from the tops of these machines. They're flat plate glass and the edges are protected. I keep one for gluing various sand paper grits to and use the other as a build board, if I don't need to pin parts.
  4. Don't stint yourself. You've got a great build going here. Keep on truckin'.
  5. Denis, the resin dust can be irritating, so mask up if you're sanding. I know, just what you don't want to be doing, but the stuff can bother your respiratory tract. The boat is coming along well.
  6. Outstanding news, OC. Well above and beyond the norm. Now it will be done correctly. 👍
  7. Two's in for you, bud. Real spindly looking critters. Gonna be fun, I think
  8. Yep, that's the best Well Done you can get.
  9. What a bummer, OC. I'd have had a few choice words about his lackadaisical manner of delivery. Fragile-smagile.
  10. We have several gas fired heaters at the Hendersonville, NC train depot. Very similar in appearance, and keep that drafty old barn of a depot pretty warm when they get cranked up. Great detail, Gary.
  11. The metal trucks are old Cape Line die cast trucks. Those molds may be ancient. They look OK, but don't roll real well. But, they may be the only one making a particular style of truck. Don't know if Rapido makes trucks for your vintage cars, Andy.
  12. Superb job on this gem. Thanks for sharing your work.
  13. Andy, I believe John Greene of BCW is retooling into a lot of 3D masters as stock of the older wood and brass kits run out. I have some of his brass sided mail and baggage cars and the supply is dwindling for them.
  14. Very nicely done on the brick coloring on plaster/hydrocal.
  15. Ras, you are correct about the Trop meaning tropical. Will be waiting to see your work on this a/c.
