I really don't see what all the fuss is about. This is simply another ho-hum unit Chuck popped out over the weekend, typical of his shoot-from-the-hip approach to the hobby. His paint jobs don't even stand up to the weather; look at all those peels and rust. Please don't encourage him. -- ssuR

I agree, Russ. I am going to slow down and try to do better.

I am finding that I enjoy taking pictures of my models almost as much as building them. Here is an artsy shot from "Sun"day:


Rusting is pert near done. It's very tedious, so I have been doing it over many sessions.

Hey Chuck
Beautiful pic....I feel like I've passed by that place in my travels in Maine as a boy.

Great picture, and for sure it does look like a old run down station along the roads of upstate Pa. or NY..

Great pic, looks absolutely like the "real thing".

Thanks! It's hard to get an angle that doesn't include the roofs across from me.

I just saw Anders update on his shop. Yesterday Dallas with his update. And now you have to rub it in even more. I think I'll just watch TV tonight. Why even bother...

But it's good to finally see the pump in the complete scene.
