Afternoon all,

Thanks for the well wishes.

Slice and dice went well. In an out in less than an hour. 12 sutures in all and I'm at the "puter" and bench.

James,

I love the rounded up and over look of the road.

Ouch Tom;

I had that form of skin cancer years ago on my nose, it was no fun but I was able to tell everyone I was an abused husband, problem was no one corrected me!

I hit a milestone on my resin printed bridge project and wanted to share. The screen shot shows all the parts that make up the bridge, and all have been printed. I am now assembling and soon painting. There is a walkway that is part of the bridge still needing designing as well as the lift bridge operators building but today was a good day. I have decided not to motorize the bridge, just not sure I could pull it off and don't want to ruin what I've made.

Jim

Mark, Cheers,

What a wonderful looking scene. The tall structures really make it believable. Fantastic job all the way sir.

Yannis,

Those NP boxcars are fantastic looking. Excellent job on the rebuild, decaling and weathering.

Very realistic.

Quote from: Yannis on February 18, 2026, 12:15:32 PMMany thanks Mike! Looking forward to place it back on the layout (long story short...moved houses, layout in pieces, restarted work on the layout a couple of weeks ago, but that deserves perhaps it's own layout thread).

Yannis,

Yes, we would love to see a layout thread. I have popcorn and I'm ready to watch.

Quote from: Yannis on February 18, 2026, 12:21:01 PMSo forgive my ignorance on wooden kits, but do you intend to use the wooden base as a base for the structure only or as a diorama base that will slot in the layout?

Is it viable to replace the floor with styrene or something 3d-printed? Or at least add bracing below the base?


Yannis,

No problem and no question is an ignorant one. Yes, I will use the kit base as I'm satisfied it will work. The entire kit is supposed to sit on a diorama but I'll build the kit and place is on the layout as a removable diorama.

Sheet styrene won't work as a base. Bracing on the bottom of the wood base in this situation isn't an option.
