Too hot to go out and railfan, and the Staples Sub is likely lifeless today anyway. Headed to the basement instead.

The apparatus for protecting employees working on top of covered hoppers from falling has been installed.

I further hollowed out the balsa wood body, as the vacuformed mold may not work well for this project.

Worked a little more on this today. Painted a second color on the building, painted the door and window frames aluminum, and built a gas pump from scratch (used a for sale sign!). This evening I splattered some paint on the backdrop.

There is a LOT more work to do-the store needs some kind of interior or photo of one, the track needs ballast, another gas pump and canopy, glue things down to eliminate gaps, roof the building, and on and on.

Slow progress fitting parts to their location - from a Saturn V, the old Space Base kit, the SRN4 hoverferry, and a scratchbuilt part to duplicate a Plastruct pump part.

Just finished scratchbuilding a correct grille for the Charger. The kit comes with the incorrect Charger R/T grille.

I used some bondo and styrene to fill in large gaps and widen an old Lockheed jet model. I don't know where the jet came from, but it wasn't built or painted very well, so I scrapped it as a donor. I'll likely leave the rear open with the engine exposed under a rollcage. Honestly the wheels were my inspiration to build a model like this.

I only need four of them, but I didn't mix the resin properly on the second casting. Derp.

I need some decently sized Adeptus Mechanicus symbols for a terrain project I'm working on. The problem? No one makes the damn things any more. So, the only solution is to make my own.

I'm building the base model out of balsa wood and other stuff I have lying around the place, then I'll take a mould off it and make as many as I need! Theoretically :)
