How hard is it to build something in such a small scale?
Looks great!

Can you add a picture that includes something for scale reference (maybe a quarter or a pencil or something)?

Thanks. Smile

When I read the title, I thought "scratchbuilt Z scale??? I gotta see this!"

And now I am saying WOW! Fantastic job on such a tiny thing. Great work, thank you for sharing. Makes me want to scratchbuikld something in HO
That’s absolutely fantastic Thumbsup . Makes HO scale scratch building look like it is something for newbies Goldth . How long did you work on it to get this far?
Well,...........so much for "that rule", the one about "larger scales as we get older".

Nice bit of work there Catt!!!

Gary, I was not talking about your remark. Goldth That is how I feel about my scratch building when i look at this little piece of art Goldth Goldth Goldth .
Since you plan on making more than one, wouldn't it be worth your time to make a master for molds & castings?

Incredible work, btw.
