TR 1587 wakes up to do some work around Tomahawk, Wisconsin on the old Marinette, Tomahawk, and Western Railway
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”
Hundreds of color options. So your candy can be any color you like.

"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.
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.
This funky star fighter also started with the boat (canoe) pieces. I was going for a somewhat retro-fitted overall look. Thanks for viewing!
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.
Having just brought a train into town, GP9 2407 & GP30 707 pull into the interchange yard of the MT&W.
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
