2) Oh, wonderful - now I've gotta buy train models in addition to ship, aircraft, tank, car, and sci-fi models. I'm gonna need a bigger ... cupboard.

trains may be very small ; Nscale 1/160 and smaler Z scale 1/220

there is another tiny scale 1/500, but it is a bit far from modelism

you can build a Z layout on a pizza box. You dont need a cupboard

Great progress. Those hull pieces look good, and nice start on the bridge. Pieces can come from anywhere!

i need to find me some of those lavazza coffee cartridges!! those are awesome finds!! or if some one that drinks them wouldn't mind sending me about a half dozen. i'll pay shipping. just shoot me a pm.

ptitrainrouge · Post by **ptitrainrouge** » Fri Apr 28, 2017 12:09 am

the price for theese cartridges is about 30$ for 100 (thx google); a bit expensive if you dont drink this coffee , and you must have the special Lavazza machine to use them.
you can have them in the us or canada

personnaly I had them in an wastebin of an office during a job meeting. (people were looking at me strangely)

if I find some more, I will tell it to you

raser13 · Post by **raser13** » Sat Apr 29, 2017 9:59 pm

if you ever cast them send me one

lol

some news

the bottom "wings" were carved for pannels and the base yellow paint is done (not perfect, I use only spray cans), drying before masking and black.

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l53 ... xvr6rc.jpg

I began to carve pannels ont the main "wing"
http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l53 ... dicv8s.jpg

carving is a bit boring, so I manage to glue some pannels on the hull structure (the black part with holes comes from a tv keypad.)
