Forest Service Collection
Re: Forest Service Collection
Hello tinman,
that is a lot of green !! But they look fantastic.
Have always admired customs and it seem such a great way to preserve the write off's.
I have just started to explore making my own 'one of's' by taking totally trashed commons and mixing and matching parts such as toe joe with 8 wheel crane boom.
Yesterday I bought a mini sand blaster gun that connects to my mini spray paint compressor and it's great for removing rust on wheel axles and of course removing the old paint. I found it works exceptionally well on old rusty scaletrix tracks as well including the joining pin areas at the ends of the track.
When I get more free time I'll have a go at some custom repaints with various slide on transfers.
regards,
steve

I was kidding with that comment. Everyone knows we steal our ideas from Andy Mc Coy and then claim we thought of it first.CrazyDave wrote:I wish I could throw that far. Lets just say we share ideas.Tinman wrote:Dave steals all his good ideas from me anyway![]()

Re: Forest Service Collection
hey Tinman, checked out your handy work too.
The competition looks a bit stiff here re customs.
if i were to upload pictures of my attempts so far i would do nothing but humiliate myself
