Tomahawk Railway 1583 has six cars in tow as it chugs to the Packaging Corporation of America plant in Tomahawk, Wisconsin on July 28, 2020.
Being a bit of a water dweller, winter in Victoria is definitely one of my favourite times of the year. Yes it’s cold, and I certainly don’t look forward to that rushing brain-freeze that accompanies the first duck dive during a paddle out. But the swells, oh the swells! Large and consistent swells whipped up by raging winds through the “Roaring Fourties”, make their way to Victoria’s coast. Predominantly you will find me riding waves along the world famous Surf Coast during winter, but this day back in July the incoming swell was expected to be large and powerful.
Wanting to seize the opportunity Alex Wiseand I headed down to a spot I love to visit on the rugged Mornington Peninsula in hope of capturing the swell. The swell didn’t end up coming in as large as expected, but the waves were certainly not without power. Here one set struck against a seastack I know as “The Tomahawk”
"The Tomahawk II medium lift helicopter provides the Joe team with a highly capable and dynamic workhorse, suitable for transport, assault, rescue, and other tasks. It is crewed by a pilot, a copilot/gunner, typically two side gunners, and optionally a loadmaster; and can carry over a dozen troops into battle. Two side doors and a rear ramp offer quick loading and offloading of supplies or personnel. Defensive weaponry comprises a 20mm multibarrel cannon in a chin turret, two side-mounted 7.62mm machine guns, six bombs, and a pair of air to air or anti radiation missiles."
I never had a Tomahawk as a kid, and I always regretted not buying one when I had a chance. In addition to being an awesome vehicle all around, it would have come in handy so many times when I was playing with my Joes and they needed to insert or extract a patrol behind enemy lines. Maybe I over romanticize the things I never had, but rate the Tomahawk as one of the best G.I.Joe vehicles ever.

The Tomahawk was an essential piece of Joe hardware that I have wanted to build for a long time. But like the Cobra Anaconda chopper, which I tackled last year, I had avoided it til because of its overall complexity and specifically because I wasn't sure how to design the cockpit. I finally came up with a cockpit solution I was happy enough with this fall, and got underway properly in December.
The rotors are motorized, which was challenging and fun, as always!
As for other details, the rotors fold, so as to take up as little space as possible, and the wheels all have suspension. There is a rear ramp, side doors, and side gunner hatches. There is a winch that runs through a trapdoor in the bottom of the helicopter, and an interior red light.
Hundreds of color options. So your candy can be any color you like.

Having just brought a train into town, GP9 2407 & GP30 707 pull into the interchange yard of the MT&W.
The Motorized Missile
The Dodge Tomahawk is a non-street legal vehicle introduced in 2003 by Dodge at the North American International Auto Show, initially as a one-off concept, and then later that year as a limited production vehicle when DaimlerChrysler announced they would sell hand-built reproductions on order. The Tomahawk attracted significant press and industry attention for its striking design, its outsize-displacement, 10-cylinder car engine, and its four close-coupled wheels, which give it a motorcycle-like appearance. Experts disagreed on whether it is a true motorcycle. The Retro-Art Deco design's central visual element is the 500-horsepower, 8.3-litre V10 SRT10 engine from the Dodge Viper sports car. The Tomahawk's two front and two rear wheels are sprung independently, which would allow it to lean into corners and countersteer like a motorcycle.

Former Marinette, Tomahawk & Western box car now owned under BKTY (Union Pacific I believe) sits on a warehouse spur for West Rock off Linwood Dr. in Galesburg, Illinois. Nice to see it hasn't been completely painted to a boring oxide red.
So as per taking requests, here is the first figure. Please, Comments and Criticism are highly appreciated!
"Tomahawk" was born in the city of Angels Boneyard. By this time, the city of Los Angeles had already been added as a state of the New California Republic. He was born to a family of 4 children in the dangerous side of the city. As he grew older, he faced the brutality of the wasteland. He soon fell in with a ruthless gang called the Rippers. He fell to a life of crime and violence. Soon enough, it consumed his life. Nearing the age of 25, he desired a new location to cause mayhem and indulge in debauchery. His desires brought him to New Vegas, where he fell in with the Viper Gang. Terrorizing the residents of North Vegas and Westside, he became a notorious criminal. His name was know by everyone, including the NCR who conducted operations to eliminate high-priority gang members such as Motor-Runner. One night, when he was in the sewers of North Vegas, he was jumped by NCR Assassins who tortured him for information on his gang. As he refused, they left him for dead near Cottonwood Cove. Soon afterward, Legion Scouts dragged his body back to the Fort. Caesar struck him a deal. If he were to serve in his army during the 2nd Battle of Hoover Dam, he would be granted his freedom. He now resides at the Fort, unaware of the impending battle for Camp Forlorn Hope."
Recently I took a class on making digital image transfers. It was a lot of fun. This is one of the first ones I made, from an image I shot in Mountainair, New Mexico. It was printed on Arches watercolor paper. In the transfer process, an image is first printed onto clear film using an inkjet printer. The film is then transferred to paper or other medium using various techniques.
The painted signage on the garage is actually from a movie that was filmed there. The garage is located across the street from the Shaffer Hotel, which is a must-see if you are in the area.
Built for the "Small Starfighter Building Contest". This is my "14x14x6 stud box" to show that the starfighter meets the size requirements.
-Influenced by the Destroid Tomahawk II and any of the clunkier Destroids, with a lot of Destroid Monster thrown in too.
-Still don't like it too much so I'll upgrade it again when I have the time... :P

The surface of the Tomahawk River is a mix of open water and lingering ice. BR401 is on its way back north after picking up loaded cars of LP SmartSide from the LP mill on the south side of Tomahawk. Lake Mohawksin is formed by the impounded waters of the Wisconsin River where a couple other tributaries join the Wisconsin. The lake is almost entirely ringed by railroad tracks. This structure is a little brother to larger bridges crossing the Wisconsin immediately to the south, ex-MT&W on this line and ex-MILW (now a trail). The span does however best a shorter bridge over the Somo River, on the Tomahawk Railway branch to the PCA mill, just to the west. March 28, 2024.
