612's 09 Kitbuild Challenge

[iis612]

I have not quite decided which kit I am going to build. It will either be a coaling tower, freight transfer, or a cinder pit and conveyor. Not nearly as ambitious as some of the others I have seen listed thus far, but it is getting me off my butt. Pics to come when I actually pick one.

Gets you off your butt - exactly why we have these contests

Can't wait to see what you come up with!

If you're having trouble trying to decide which kit to do. Here's a suggestion.

"eeny...meeny...mighty.....moe."

Works for me all the time.

Looking forward to seeing which one you pick and start building Matt

I am actually going to work on several structures. I will maintain a photo log of each build, and enter the one that turns out the best. Is this cheating??? I don't think so, I think it is motivation.
I will be working on a 6 stall roundhouse, an ashpit and conveyor, a coaling tower, a passenger station, and a fire station.

I started on 3 different kits, and then got hurt at work, again. I will have to withdraw from the contest. I won't be able to finish with any of the structures in time.

Alright, I am still banged up, but I am going to jump back in. I am working on a coaling tower.
Progress pics are coming on monday.

Glad you're feeling better!

[iis612]

Thank you, it is nice to be feeling a bit better.

I am going to have to get my hands on some plastic putty. The legs did not exactly line up properly, and there are some large gaps. I was going to file them to fit, but it seems easier to fill the voids and hit it with the dremel to smooth it out.
Pics coming tomorrow.

I know I promised progress pics a week ago. I have a hectic day today, but I will try to add them.
