Very nice tool box Marc... I'm looking forward to seeing the finished piece with all these great details in place. Good SBS on the paintwork too... very informative.

Thanks guys.

Below is some more stuff from last night.  I think I am slowly getting a small taste of the kind of "detail hell" Chuck and Spencer must go through when building their scenes ;) ;D

Man, that is looking nice! I really like those PE buckets. The sad part is this will all get used up so quickly, with so much more space to fill.

Someone ought to do a bucket in 1/2" scale.      Ken

Thanks Chuck,
Yeah...I don't know how you do it...the more details one creates, the more seem to be needed. Worse yet, everything I am making  (except fro the link pins, and the crank) will end up inside the the caboose and be barely visible.


Carlo,
PE = Photo Etch.  This was from one of the 'Aber' PE sets. (will check the set number if you want)

Marc, the paint job on the castings is very nice. What material are they made of?

Thanks Frederic,

The pry bar, shovel and wrench are some white metal castings from the scrap box, the hammer is resin (from a Verlinden kit), the starter crank is scratch built from brass and styrene, the coupler pins are scratch from brass.

Very nice tools Marc. They may be hidden from view inside, but you know they're there and perfection is in the details. It's always a delight to explore a model and find all sorts of details that would otherwise be missed without careful examination.

Very nice indeed.  Those are great detail parts and the painting is so realistic.

Nice job Marc.  Ship me a shoebox filled with those details please.  I'll pay the postage.
