You really captured the appearance of weathered wood. -- Russ

Wow, that looks great!

Great works of art - the aging is just great!

more impressive progress. My layout will have a small sawmill and I'm soaking up ideas from your thread.

The Head frame.

As an extra personal touch, I decided to reinforce these constructions because, after so many years of heavy use, the two beams started to wiggle a bit. So I forged these big iron ( brass)
crochets to hold everything together. Nobody wants these to fall on their heads...

[Ray Dunakin]

Beautiful!

Franck, where have you been? -- Russ

[Ray Dunakin]

Nice work! I like those rough concrete supports.

[Robert G]

these are resin castings that come with the kit. All castings, white metal or resin are top notch quality !!

Franck, where have you been? -- Russ

Hi Russ,

I had some health concerns, to take seriously, but I'm fine.

What has gone back further, my return to modelling....

Nevertheless, I went back to work....finally! A freelance gas loco in 1:35 scale!
