Dustin, I edited your post to show the pics. The easiset way to display pics is 1. click on your thumbnail to bring up the picutre in Rail images. 2. Right click on picture and go to properties. 3. highlight and copy the url. 4. Click image here and paste link Just remember the url must look like this http://www.railimages.com/albums/dustinfarlow/aaf.jpg The model looks great, it gives a great amount of satifaction when you modify models, I have only just begun to do this myself.
Thanks, but the camera is horrible, a new one if next on my list of big purchases. The unit is much nicer in person, but man, that shell is like getting into Ft. Knox! Like putting a clock back together, lol.
Colonel, the detailing was really easy once I got over the anxiety of cutting up my new kato, BLMA's parts are so easy to drill and fit, but hardest part of the whole process was taking apart and putting together the shell!
nice done but...... on some units the chains in the center of the front/tail handrails seems to be white. the handrails along the hood seem to be black, only the stanchions are red. and where are all the warning stickers ?
sandro, I went back and painted the chains and side handrails, to match the prototype, but the warning labels I can't do, don't have much experience with decals.
Sandro, my profile won't let me update my email address, my new one is tarponfly49@netscape.net you will have to email that one, I cannot recieve mail from the one you emailed! Thanks
Very nice! I used to do that to al my engines. Too much work for each engine, but a detailed one or 2 is sure nice.
I know what you mean Hemi, I usually buy engines in pair, and almost always, once one is detailed the other never seems to get done, after the first AC4400 (major pain to get apart, and then back together after the details) I don't think I will ever have more than one super detailed AC4400...LOL
