New Products from Cutting Edge Scale Models!

Can't you just paint over the windows? I think this would be a better project for etchings.

Yes, but . . . then the supposedly plated over windows will be inset by the thickness of the cab (which is usually more than 6 scale inches. They are supposed to be flush. It looks wonky that way.  Like a toy, not a realistic scale model.

A flush-fitting plug will dramatically improve the look of the plated-over windows.

For an example of this type of solution see https://www.therailwire.net/forum/index.php?topic=34887.msg410738#msg410738

That sounds interesting. I would love to to it, if you send me a PM with dimensions of the windows and an approximate fillet radius, I will see what I can do. Millimeters only please.

I don't own any of those models - I only chimed in because I dealt with a similar problem on that Dodge Sprinter model.  Someone else will have to provide the dimensions.

Welp, I guess they do. I corrected the model, it is now available at the same link (http://shpws.me/J7LZ). It will take a bit for the blue background model to re-render, but the white background photo reflects the changes.

Much better!

What's the progress being made on the C-415 body shell/s?

SHHHHH! David is pumping out cool detail parts like crazy! Don't distract him.

I'm with Frank, I would love Lehigh Valley pup SW8 dynamics, either as a splice in part or an entire hood. You could put me down to definitely get five!

I have paused progression on that one, currently I am putting out fires on the HO TEBU project. While shopping around for casters though, I did find someone that might be able to do the C415 shell. We shall see.

We will see. No promises though. If you can PM me a set of dimensions for the hood and cab that it would join onto, that would increase the chances of me doing it.

I'll certainly check my stash for a Life-Like SW8

I can donate a cab and long hood to the project, pm me your address and I can send it out asap!

Pm sent. Thanks everyone!

[jmlaboda]

Thanks everyone!

Dcutting... thank you for all that you are doing to help make our beloved scale even more interesting!!!  Any and all efforts are greatly appreciated by most of us, even if they are not something we ourselves can use.  The more that can be done the more interest can be developed and that is always a good thing!!!

Now if we could convince you to do some heavyweight passenger cars... B)

Next up is a dash 2 anticlimber.

I tried to order some of your NP Gyra-lights but they said they could not be made.

Sorry about that, I will fix it soon.
