Have a great and safe Father's Day!

Finally starting to look like something. Planted over 150 trees this weekend.

Alan, WOW! Can't wait until it's done.

Peter, nice work on the mortar and weathering.

Mel, the details make a layout special.

Donald, what's that Camaro doing in there?

PRR Steam, that's a mighty big forest.

Good eye Joe. That is a homage to my '69 SS396!

Alan:

Is the hoist after market or scratched built?

Joe

Alan, your workmanship is marvelous but your workshop looks like ****.

Make me feel right at home.  

Donald,

I like the cars. I just sold my old challenger for a 2010 model.

The layout details look fantastic.

Coach,

Thank you. The summer is stalling progress.

Joe,

I used a model die cast crane. Unbolted from the frame and added a ring to swivel on the pipe pedestal I used.

Tom,

I cleaned up the model room right down to vacuuming the floor.

Peter

Nice job. You did not overdo the weathering at all. I like the gray color you used with the black windows.

Mel,

Your rooftop details are just another thing on the list of your great model work

SACRALIDGE! a 2010 model couldnt hold a candle to that work of metal art! I hope you got a pretty penny for it!

I agree Mark, but it was 16 years and it was time to make the change. It will have a good time out in Ohio cruising along at 50 miles an hour around the cornfields.

Nice Stuff. Solid axle… eh? When the Stingray came along they did get better. Nice roofs!
