Thanks John. I'm not sure what you'd call us. New and shiny always looks wrong to me.

Beautiful work on the vehicles!!! One question.....how do you get them to "hover" over the work surface?????


SteveCuster

Thanks Donato. It's a magic trick, harder with the lead vehicles.

Hello everyone. Small update today, I staged some of the vehicles on the diorama and I finished a Jordan Mack Stake truck.

My main focus in modeling has always been wood structure kits. One of the main mistakes I made when building Jordan kits is priming/painting all the parts prior to assembly. It made it difficult to glue everything together. Also the glue used is critical. I used Tamiya liquid cement for this kit and it went together pretty easily. I imagine lots of wood kit modelers find the same challenges when building plastic kits.


I made the sign using the same methods I used for the signs on salvage yard building. I used black spray primer for the main portions of the truck and Boxcar Red from the SW paint set.




Steam crane staged on the layout.


The magnet casting is nice and heavy so it falls pretty naturally against the scenery.









Thanks for checking in. I'll be taking a little break from building vehicles kits for a while. I'm going to pick a small structure from my shelf to build to break things up a bit.

Steve,
             What an absolutely fabulous set of pictures of that beautiful modeling.  Question:  How did you get George to build that for you?  I thought he did his layout only. ha.  Just awesome. Keep working sir.  Thanx Thom...

Thanks Everyone!

Thom, George has always been a huge inspiration to me. His modeling is what got me into modeling in the first place. That's a great compliment to me, thanks.
