Howdy. 

I hope your week is getting off to a good start. 

I built this resin truck a while back. Its packaging was quite dusty when I bought it on sale for $5 at the hobby shop. 

Later.

Morning all.  Nice job on the truck Jaime! I haven't been around much the past week as I was dealing with my mother. Everything is fine with her now but she'll be in a local rehab for a few weeks which will give me a bit of a break. I had purchased a couple of vehicles off of ebay that were 3D printed a couple weeks ago. Upside is the prints were very clean and multiple parts which will make painting easy, downside is the directions for building  the kit is a YouTube video. I watched it yesterday but it ends before the builder finished the vehicle. I'll try and figure it out, maybe do some posts on it.

Good morning, Jaime, Dan and later arrivals.  The sun's been up over the NH seacoast for a while - mid 50s now, high forecast as mid 60s.  I'm headed for the Trolley Museum in a bit. Planning Board this evening means little or no time for modeling.

That's pretty good molding for HO scale resin.  Nice paint and signage too. Ideally I'll have two fleets of vehicles for my layout: 1954-ish and 1964-ish.  A lot of them will probably be resin, but I don't think I'll have many of their windshields facing the aisle.

Afternoon all,

Love the pictures (as always) today.  ;D

Just got back from lunch with former work colleagues. Now it's time to sit down at the workbench. 

Have a great one!

Afternoon everyone. Here is a current photo of my HOn30 micro layout based on Baltimore, The Point.

All of the structures are scratchbuilt. Still a long way to go, but it is coming along.

Just up from a short nap after driving home from the UP today. Traffic was easy to navigate but Ma Nature set the thermostat back and cranked the fan. 59 now after highest seen was 63.

Had a fine week, time to look at the mail and refresh the hobby projects.

Monday night football?  The Sunday night game was intense.

Thanks for all the photos.

Be well.
