It's not necessarily a "Like" as such L.H. It's more of an "I reacted to this post".

The final wagon in this set - a Beer Wagon :
Unfortunately this may be my last model - I don't know how many of you are aware but I've had cancer for the past 6 years, and it's progressed to the stage where they can no longer do anything for me. The pain in my lower back has been getting so severe lately that I'm finding it nearly impossible to sit at my workbench for longer than an hour or so at a time before I need to take a long break. In addition the pain medication I'm now on makes me extremely drowsy and I sleep for most of the day.
Thank you to everyone on this wonderful forum for the friendship over the years, and to all those who followed my many builds. I'm making this my goodbye.

The ends of the tank body are convex, so I made up my usual extra filler pieces. There is also virtually no internal framing, so once again I scratch-built it :
Lots of rivets on this one - over 1,400 of them which took 2 1/2 days to glue on :
The final pics :

Hi all,
Here's another wagon to go with the Bulgar Locomotive. I actually completed it before posting any pics, but I did take them as I went :
I made a major mistake early in the construction of the frame. The "X" shaped centre piece is back-to-front compared to the outer frame. Not a really big deal, as all it meant was that the location markings were no longer correct and needed to be painted over. I also had to do a fair bit of measuring off the plans - just as well that there is a full-scale drawing of the side elevation in the kit :
More pics follow in the next post.

Thank you Grant .
The Screws (propellors) are of similar construction to those in my Amatsukaze kit, also by Halinski - lots of petals, which means lots of careful cutting. I shaped the central piece using a rounded stick on high-density foam :
Four hours later :
And finally the completed units. I used a thin wash of acrylic to soften the dark colour of the seams :
I've started the main deck railings, and also made and fitted the port side entry ladders. The railings were designed for a plastic (Tamiya) kit and don't fit perfectly in regard to positions of the ladders, bollards etc, so some fudging is needed :

The Rigging only took a day to do, and it's turned out the best of any Card model I've done to date :
