Marty ,

   This is becoming a seriously good piece of engineering ( it has gone beyond mere modelling) and if it continues like this you stand a chance of scraping a third place at this years Craftsman Structure Show !

Beautiful work, it seems almost a shame to paint such lovely machining.

I don't know Nick do you think it would place that high?  Competition will be fierce at this years show.

Thanks everyone.

Gordon Yes I have a small scene in mind with the surrounding floor and beams, kind of a cut away.
I do plan on painting and weathering (or showing signs of use).

Nick No chance of placing the the CSS, I'm not going. And it's still just a model!

Not a chance...there are no antlers, no draped chains, and gobs no gobs of bright orange rust, on this.  Those guys wouldn't know a well crafted model if it fell on them.

wow...

talk about a piece that would make even a good scenery look bad...

Great work marty... I am still watching this one
it is going to be hard to get this one married to a scene....  ???  but hey what do I know....

I am just a mere student of the craft.  ;)

Personnally, I haven't the least doubt about Marty's ability to build a scene around his Corliss engine that would fit the exceptionnal level of modelling of this machine. He has already shown us his talent in many occasions. What I'm not sure of is, will he want to spend the time required for it?

Marty, congratulations!

I am at a loss for superlatives to describe your results. You have done a fantastic work...

Sets the bar another notch higher!

Franck ,

  It looks like you've got some serious competition now. Are you up for raising the bar even higher ?

  Have you been doing any modelling recently ? I am always looking out for new photos from you to see what new masterpiece you have created .
  Are you still planning on modelling the French mining scene ( the one with the snowshed) that you posted photos of a number of months ago ?

Marty, this is some really great work, can I ask if you have a prototype you are working toward? I did a google for a Corliss engine and they seem to come in all different sizes and applications. Can't wait to see this project sitting in one of your dioramas. Pat

Nick, thanks for the kind words, but no modeling at the moment! Yes I'm planning the French mining scene, and I'm working on a new gas loco inspired by a RLD 3.3 ton Plymouth gas loco... ...I'm waiting my wheel sets from NWSL, but I haven't see the wheels come up to my desk! I ordered Sn3 wheel sets to model 500mm gauge in 1:35 scale  ;)
