Picture time

Been busy at the model bench..............not going to go into too much detail, just posting up some pics of recent progress. Some of the scenes are starting to really take shape. Others....not so much....lol.

Enjoy!

Last few..........I've had this old Mehano kicking around since the 80's.........This is probably rebuild number three. Did a complete weathering job, replaced some missing details and upgraded the decoder. I improved the lighting and added a strobe on her back. The sunshades are scratchbuilt from some old photo etched parts from my automotive days.

Till next time...

To quote a fellow railroader:

Very nice work. I very much like the houses on the slope, reminds me of Shenandoah PA.

Excellent work as always!

Does the strobe actually strobe?  If so, how'd you get it to strobe?

...makes me wish I had more room...

You?  Need more room?

Thanks for the positive feedback guys.

John....yes I use a tripod....always....and the timer function to trigger the shutter. I set the old Sony on full manual with the aperture opening being the priority. The macro setting also helps a lot.

Jim.....yes it strobes. The MRC decoder I used has extra light function outputs for MARS, strobes, ditch lights etc. It was as simple as connecting a bulb and drilling a hole in the roof.
