What I've been up to

[TRAINS1941]

Just so you know I really do model.  And to make sure Nick & Marc don't think I'm pulling there legs.  I've posted a few pictures of what I've been working on.
One other thing the doors and chutes do work!

Nice work. Good to see you're working on something. (My current project is trying to learn SketchUp. Ugh.) -- Russ

I was glad to see this on RR line. I'm glad your getting something done. Very nice, clean construction.

Working parts are not easy, and harder still to keep things looking in scale. NIce!


What is this going to go with?

[shropshire lad]

Very nice , Jerry . Just remind me . Who are you getting to do your modelling these days ?

  Well , you obviously don't have the time yourself , seeing as you have to do all that lounging around on the beach every day . And I know that wears you out .

  Seriously , keep up the good work , Old Bean . I'll look in again in a year or two to see how you are getting on ,

Well, first I though this must be a spam thread.....but then after recovering from falling out of my chair, I can Second Chuck's comments. 

Look forward to seeing more.

Well it was longer than two weeks but I did finish it.  Learned a lot doing this build.  And hopefully my next project will be much better.  So here is the finished product.

Nice job with that Jerry. Weathering??

[Ray Dunakin]

Looks good. What's the scale?

[Stoker]

Very nice work. Reminds me of the Rio Grande Southern coal tipple at Vance Junction. Some of that structure is still standing today.

Jerry, next time you photograph the model, take it outside if you can. Your camera was on "sunlight" mode but you shot the model under incandescent lights. That's why it is so yellow-orange overall. I took the image into Photoshop and got a better idea of its overall colors but was unable to bring out the subtleties. Even so, the model looked twice as good. -- Russ

Thanks guys.

Ray it's O-Scale.

Chester I really didn't try to weather I wanted a brand new in use Bin.
Next one I do will try to weather some more.

Your right Russ I took it in doors and the lighting was piss poor.
I'll try one outside in the sunshine (if it ever comes back)!!!!
