Its nice to look at them when they are done Bryan, and also good to be reminded of what still needs to be done.
That's probably about 5 or 6 years of 'work' Terry, apart from the Locoshop, I used to be quite prolific when I started, there's more on a different shelf behind me and several stacked up in the laundry room, and O scale Shelby's is out in the main room, I really haven't done anything for the last 5 years, until the last few months, so its good to be back in here modeling again.
Thanks Phil, I like the extra support when placing the stack and also as a handle when painting.
That would be nice Alan, but, they're all free for anyone to enjoy. (donations are welcome tho, haha)
firstly, I tried to adjust a few areas the next day which started a downward spiral, I started getting frustrated and impatient, rushed a few steps and messed it all up completely.
secondly, its not really a standard method, even though its similar to modgepodge or liquitex, but it is really quite out of the norm and inappropriate to post, so I thought it best to remove it... and now, onward.
I'm not trying to hide my mistakes, I just dont want anyone else to repeat them and end up in trouble. I should have thought it through better before I posted, I'm out of practice.
I'm very happy with everything so far, all that I have left to do is the track and the water, so not a big deal, but, I don't want to push it and mess all this work up at the last stage just to 'get it finished'.
I need to do some research for the water I want, also something for the track, I can do this in the background and come back next week.
Thanks for all of your comments, support and ideas on this build throughout this last month, I'll hopefully see you in another build thread shortly and meet you back here in a week or so for the final pics.

Hopefully soon Rick, I know what I want, I just need to make sure I can do it. Sometimes I can make better progress if I start with a pause, instead of rushing forwards. I've learned that the hard way a few times.
Close, but no cigar, yet.
The man is back !
So nice to come back to the forum after a long time and see your incredible building again. Between the spending time with the kids, the new business and trying to find time to surf I just haven't had any modelling mojo for quite some time. Seeing this thread has definitely started to get my creative juices going again.
That last shot you posted shows that you haven't lost your touch. Cant wait to see more.
