Project Trays & 3 HO Model Train Projects

I found this tray at a local discount stores. I purchased two of these and thought they might be a great thing for my current projects. All parts are visible and readily accessible.

From left to right: A brass box-cab locomotive under construction, four mini flats (see this post), and a miniature gondola kit, which was found amoung a collection of HO gauge detail parts.

An Indominus Rex in PVC

The Indominus Rex stands approximately 50mm tall by 70mm wide and is highly detailed. This specimine is one of three in this new mini Jurassic World collection which includes the Indominus Rex, 'Blue', and a T. Rex. Hopefully I will able to get back to the Dollar Tree and pick up the two miniatures.

"Oh, Indominus wasn't bred. She was designed. She will be fifty feet long when fully grown. Bigger than the T. rex." —Henry Wu

I count four colors being used for its body and the inside of its mouth. It eyes look convincing. Take notice of the very large hind legs. Should I paint its toes the same color as its front claws?

The Assembly of the AT - M6 is Complete

Screenshot for Star Wars

Assemble has been completed. I still need to prime, paint, and detail the model. The instructions suggest paint consisting of 90% grey and 10% black. I don't see a scale listed anywhere on the box. So in milimeters the transport measures approximatly 75h by 65w. The piece is highly detailed and it will be fun to detail these with dabs of paint.

Even though I took longer to build the model it could have put together in about twenty minutes. For as simple as construction was I am very happy how things worked out. It is as small as it is beautiful.

Is Extremely Thin a Thing

Look at what I have found on Ali Express. They are being offered in 1/64 and 1/43 scales. They are little weird looking. However, they are full of detail. I like their long thin bodies. Is this a new aesthetic? I have seen multiple offerings with miniatures that are tall and very thin. I will be making posts on some of the others I have found.

European Signs I Presume

I just found these signs in an unopen plastic kit. It looks like they are in French, German and English. If I ever get around to addind additional signs to my layout I might remember to make use of some of these.

Four Short HOn30 Flat Cars

Here is another picture for future production. These train cars were built in On30 scale whereas my adaptation will be built in HOn30.

I just received four mini-flat cars from ebay today.

I will use these four 6-foot flat cars as a base for the four cars and build my own superstructures.

A Poem, a Code, a Hint

The author of the De Vinci Code, Dan Brown used this poem as code to give the current set of seekers a hint as to where to find the Holy Grail.

"In London lies a knight a Pope interned. His labor's fruit a Holy wrath incurred. You seek the orb that ought to be on his tomb. It speeks Rosy Flesh and seeded womb."

And now for something totaly different...

Star Wars Imperial AT-M6 walkers.




Sometime ago I acquired several of Bandia Star Wars Series of models, including an AT-M6. Although these models can be snapped together I usually use a spot of glue anyway. I have just started the construction of this model using the build instructions illustrations printed on the inside of the box.

"Lumbering armored beasts that are the latest generation in walkers, these transports help the First Order secure their expanding territories."
