MCM Regular (3/6)

  1. I built a house truck starting with a Classic Metal Works International. More Pictures: http://public.fotki....s/housetruck-1/
  2. The fence is made from fiberglass screen. An HO scale fence kit costs about $20. Fiberglass screen from ACE Hardware, which is the same as what comes in the kit, costs around $1.00 a foot. Virgil, next building is a bank. Probably made from high density polyurethane foam. I'm going to build some HO scale cars and trucks first. I need a little break and something to take to the NNL.
  3. The latest addition to Davetown. Old cars and black and white pictures. Here's the link to all the pictures: http://public.fotki....own-speed-shop/
  4. Thanks! The houses are 1:87 scale. I'm not sure if they are still in production or not. I picked up all 5 at a train show real cheap. They're all right out of the box with a few minor modifications. I took pictures while I was building them.

  6. Alcohol will take some primers off. I usually use oven cleaner to take paint off. I like Mr. Muscle. The only place I've been able to find it lately is Ace Hardware. Works quick, after all the paint is off I soak the plastic in white vinegar to neutralize what I used to take the paint off and clean any residue.

  8. That looks fantastic! The red and the aluminum together really pops. That would look so cool with some neon lights around the top. Can't wait to see it done.
  9. Here's the diorama that I've been working on for a while. Here's a link to the build from start to finish: http://public.fotki.com/DaveInTheHat/davetown/dave-craft-boats/
  10. Thanks. I'm doing pretty good. Only a few minor problems to deal with. Chris, I was in Lehigh Valley. Nice hospital, hope to stay out of it now.
  11. Here's a link to a printable ruler. http://www.printmini.com/printables/rulers/index.shtml
  12. Looks good. I've been wanting to do something with a Tonka truck for a while now. I saw a guy on ebay has replacement windshields and other parts for Structo, Tonka and Nylant stuff. What I looked at seemed pretty reasonably priced.
  13. I had a great time. Got to see a quite a few of my friends. Here's my pictures. I think something might be going wrong with my camera. It's been acting kind of strange for a while. A lot of my pictures came out a little blurry. http://public.fotki.com/DaveInTheHat/model...-september-sho/
  14. Hey! That's great stuff. Thanks for sharing. Seems like your diorama will be good for a lot of different photo opportunities.
