How hard is it to build something in such a small scale?
Re: Scratchbuilt Z scale 70' Woodchip gon - MasonJar - 11-25-2009
Looks great!
Can you add a picture that includes something for scale reference (maybe a quarter or a pencil or something)?
Thanks.

That’s absolutely fantastic

. 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.
That is how I feel about my scratch building when i look at this little piece of art .

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.
