Outstanding road work there and the refinery is pretty darn nice too. Any idea what kit the ship is built from?As for me, it's been awhile since I posted anything (done plenty of work though), although I've been pretty busy with travel due to work requirements. Had a few moments (actually a deadline) to knock out my brother's Xmas present before I left for the states last week. Used one of Reese's SD40-3 cabs to build this CSX SD40-3 (printed by Shapeway's). Also used his SD60E cab for NS 6920, but wasn't 100% happy with my build on that one, mostly due to the decals.
Looking great, I always like to see my stuff being used.
Your welcome, but thank you for making them available in the first place Any chance you could design some additional porch mounted (CSX Style) and pilot mounted ditch lights? I've got the two that are currently available and use the heck out of them. I need to start experimenting with them for lighting applications. Right now, they are just non-operating light fixtures. Cheers,Brian
My ditch lights look really good once lit. 0402 SMDs fit perfectly in them and you can make lenses for them from 0.030" fiber optic strand. I simply flare the end with a soldering iron, cut it off and glue it to the model with Microscale krystal clear. I've been working on a CSX ditch light version, I just need to tweak it for shapeways.
Do the Mark 4 shells need to be soaked in bestine? I have a EJ&E 38-2 to complete one of these days, I have only looked at the shell a couple of times, but seems pretty flexible (and translucent!).Rick
If they are flexible, then they need exposure to UV light to become rigid. Put the shells on a windowsill that gets a lot of sunlight and leave it there for a couple of days. Make sure the body is straight before starting.
Nice progress there PS!That track in back could use some paint on the sides of the rails.
