New project:

   

Interaction Hobbies just released this kit a month ago and I just had to have it. It's a mobile diner on the back of a 1955 Cheverolet Cab over truck. It comes with a complete 3-d printer interior.

   

The kit is a mix of laser cut and 3-d printed parts. It includes signage as well.

     

The truck cab, interior chassis and wheels are 3-d printed. It's a good looking truck that could be used as a flatdeck on it's own.

   

I spent the first few days of construction painting parts and preping for construction. I decided to paint the truck in a teal instead of blue. It's more of a late 50's-early 60's color.
I first removed the cab and interior from their carrier sheet. I't's fairly easy, I just broke one pin at a time until the parts come free.

got this off the bay don't recall ever seeing one before.

I've been given a Brass GMD-1 to paint in Canadian National

   

Dissassembly is pretty easy, just 4 screws. The handrails and everything else is soldered together so the model has ro be painted as is.

   

I gave the body a quick scuff with some fine scotch bright and wiped it down with some isopropyl alcohol. I masked the drive parts before spraying with primer
   

I used some Tamiya metal primer and am now waiting for it to cure before painting the color.

i use to use talc but since the law suit it's hard to find if anyone has a suggestion it would be helpful.

was packing things up as in couple of weeks were going to have a project in garage so i was putting away rolling stack and engines out of harm's way and found I have 22 cabooses of 12 different roads and was wondering how many you have.

I got this a few months ago posted in 'upper berth' wondering what it was:

   

After finding out what it was I searched online to see if anyone had every painted/finished one but came up empty.
I decided just to paint and weather it as I figured it would have been:

   

I semi dry-brushed barn red onto the body, then painted the tarpaper patches with a grey-black. The windows were done in vintage white. I used three different tamiya wood colors on the boards.

   

I then used Tamiya's 'panel liner' in both black and brown as a wash to go between the boards and siding and add some depth.

Hi everyone, I thought that I would share with you my newest build, another kit from "Fine Scale Miniatures".
The Chippy Hollow Hardware Co. However I changed my version of this kit into a tribute to the late great model railroader John Allen.
So the place is now called the John Allen monuments & statuary Co.
Here's how it came out looking.

   

   

   

I also added LED lighting to this structure, so here is how it looks at night.

   

Thanks for having a look!
