Earlier this month I had a stroke. I wanted to get back to my workbench as soon as I could. I had some trouble with getting my hands to do what my brain wanted them to do. I picked a couple of simple kits that I could finish fairly quickly to try and work to get back to my 'normal'. The doctors told me it would be a few months.
The box car was pretty much out of the box. Nice little kit that takes a lot of detail painting. For the Southern Oil I replaced a lot of the plastic parts with wood and made my own base.
I probably wont use these as part of "Davetown". I don't even really want them for anything. Maybe then next think I do will be a new section of my town.
Here's the kits that I started with.
Here's how they turned out.
Here's a link to the pictures I took while I was building.
