That's a really cool display! Our club needs to do another library display, it's been ages since our last one.

Are all the models yours Santa or is this a club thing?

This kit is simply amazing. I have it in my stash, with the figures.  I don't know if I will ever get to it.  It is still available and surprisingly affordable for what you get.

very nice.  i have one that has been a shelf queen for years but, as  i am in the shelf queen GB and alredy knocked out 3 kits,  this is my ultimate for this year.

i see we build differently. i have both trucks done and dark yellow. they probably need some touching up, the decals and oil washes. i am so much better at washes and filters than when i started it which is a plus. thanks for the info on the weighted breech.

are you using the plastic track? i will lay my own. it really is not that hard and, with a bit of prep work, takes as long as fixing up the plastic. i did a presentation years ago for one of my model clubs.

Whoa! That track and bed look fantastic. Same with the spikes from what I can see in a small image.

I like them because thay are two piece hallow castings.  This alowes me to add a caped gas pipe serounded by epoxie inside. And drill the fuse hole.  And they fire.

Hutch6390--are you going to make the barrole slide back to show recoil the way I did with my 1/72 Hobby Boss & 1/72 Hosagawa ?

No, I don't think I'm that brave!  It'll be pretty much out of the box, and then put on a simple wooden base.  But your build is making me want to get mine started!

Vell, Zaphod's just zis guy, you know?

Starting to want this kit even more now! You said that base and the rail ballast comes with it? I was also really admiring those canons under your bench. Do you have a post about those anyplace?

That looks fantastic - I'm watching with interest, as I have the 1/72 Hobby Boss kit in the stash (and that's big enough for me!).

Hi;

     Some Smart Alec brought one in 1/87 to run our layout in the museum. Got to the first curve and said "Uh"Uh". That was Annie! So your monster is all the more intimidating because of the size difference. Nice job so far. 

    I got what one observer said about your glue holder. Hey when I "R.V.d" That's what I did. I used a table that folded. The crease also makes a good brush holder if the handles are fat enough!
