Is that the same tree that the partridge was in? Nice form work.Cletus
Nicely done Chris. Will the brass be painted?-Bob
One thing I saw recently was a short video of a gentleman in Maine who has been collecting Lombard parts from abandoned ones in the remote woods, and is building a complete working one! Once done it will be the fourth operational one in the world these days. Here's hoping he gets it going!!
There's a product that the model railroaders use called "Blacken It" for turning brass and other metals somewhat black:http://www.modelexpo-online.com/product/AW2I think I've got some around here somewhere. If I can find it, I'll put some on some brass and post the results.Jim
I agree, the paint's simpler. Besides, it just going to get worn off anyway, right? I mean you are going to use this hauler in its' natural environment, right? It's not going to be the steam crawler equivalent of a Ramp Tramp or a Hanger Queen, right?Are you going to make the wheels that interchanged with the skids so they could use the hauler during the non-winter months?Don
Really shaping up Chris.It's a really nifty model.
Hmm, once you retire, will you change your handle to ZeeWasAProgrammer?!
