I do have a serious question ;

 Do the instructions have you doing a butt joint on the boiler ? Is that why you have it in that jig ?  T.B.

Awesome locomotive build. I'm convinced that you'd enjoy LGB locomotives. Watch out though it coulds end up as a garden railroad....

Thanks.

Gene, I'm using different thicknesses of cardboard, mainly 0.5 mm and 1 mm, the paper of the kit itself is rather heavy as well, I've messeared it with my (cheap) digital calliper to be around 0.225 mm (about the same as Bristol paper).

Nice.  Did you mount the paper on chip board, or something?  It looks like you are using something thicker than poster board.  

And using spot putty to fill in the gaps!!  How plastic-like.  :-)

Hello ladies and gentlemen,

It's been many years since I have visited this forum regulary (it was before the change of forum software, I think).  The reasons for my long absence are too long to list, but just a few of them are : a buildingstop due to health issues, activities in other hobbies, and last but not least ; less activity in plastic and wood, while more in paper.

I have just found out a few minutes ago, that FSM forum now has a "Paper Models" subforum, while ironically it was thrue a 1998 or 1999 FSM magazine that I stumbled on paper models (there was a little add with a download code for a free model from FiddlersGreen).

Anyway, I haven't built that much in paper during those years... well, that's to say ; I have started many models, but never actually was able to finish one, so I'm still an inexperienced beginner.

However, since March this year I have been working on a paper model, of wich I'm rather confident I will be able to finish :)

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you : the Polish narrow gauge steamengine Cn2t "Las" :

And, that's how she looks at the moment :

Sorry for not having an actual buildlog on this forum yet, but from now on, I'll post my progress here as well :)

Although the order of the pictures are chronological and kind of self-explanatory ; if you have any questions regarding some of the building steps, feel free to ask.
