Stages
First off, let me apologize for being so far behind on viewing all of the great photos you all have been capturing.
This project started after a Thanksgiving spent at my pa's house in the north country, where we ran and photographed the G scale EF4 Little Joe, E79. We both thought how neat it would be to have a pair of Joe's out running. As soon as I returned home, a second EF4 Little Joe was started, E75. I thought it would be a good idea to show some of the stages the E75 has gone through, up to it's current state in the photo's center. 1/8" thick styrene and 1/4" acrylic are the main components to the project. From heating styrene and wrapping it around a wooden jig for the noses of the Joe, to adding roof detail are represented here. There is still a distance to go on this 1/29th scale brute, but the work gets much easier at this point, with the smaller details taking up these chilly winter days. Stay warm and stay inspired.
