I think it looks great!

It's the first time I've ever seen an active steam locomotive (outside of an amusement park) and it was very cool to see. They definitely did a very good job on the restoration, it looks amazing. Here's a picture that was posted on the Trains Magazine Facebook page this weekend, taken at the...

Congrats on the hardware! Both look excellent!

Ok, so for the last year, the North Carolina Transportation Museum in Spencer, NC has been restoring a J Class 4-8-4 steam locomotive for the Viginia Museum of Transportation in Roanoke, Va. The train is Norfolk & Western #611, nicknamed "The Spirit of Roanoke" For the last several weeks...

KRIEG ADLER PROJECT "THE CRIB" Don't forgot an overhead light for the poor sod stuck working in the crib, haha.

That is very cool, and it looks great!

Very nice work Mark.

I did work on fitting the windscreen to the fuselage, and I had to sand some off the center windscreen brace to make it fit like you suggested, and it appeared to fit pretty good after doing that. I've had half the windscreen curing after coating it w/ future. Had to polish out some accidental...

Fitting of the windscreen has started, and your suggestion has helped a lot. I wanted to get all the work done on the fuselage done before I started working on final fitting on the wind screen, but I have worked on it some, and it's definitely fitting a lot better, I just haven't taken any pic's...

A milestone for this build I think, finally got paint down on it. Should be turd brown but went with primer grey instead. I keep hoping at some point that this thing will turn around and start getting better but so far its never ending, haha. Overall I dont appear to have to do as much clean up...

Excellent pics, thanks for sharing!

Very cool pic's!

Yea, this guy has been difficult to deal w/ from the beginning, and I've made the decision I'm not going to do any more work for him after this project. Only problem is that so far he's the only person I've done any freelance work for, so its double edged not doing anything for him anymore.

I was hoping to have a freelance project finish up in time, and end up actually having the money, but now the guy has dropped off the face of the planet and isn't responding to my emails.

Yea, thats pretty common unfortunately. I know I'd prefer plastic tires. And I agree, someone will definitely have tires for it pretty soon after the release.

The Trumpeter Facebook page only lists it as coming soon, no release dates.

Flagship Models has a CSS Hunley kit, and according to the homepage, they also have a CSS David torpedo boat. CSS Hunley CSS David I recently picked up a 1/48 S-3 kit, so I'd have something else besides my 1/32 TBM to do for this campaign. Very hot to build this one, so I'd probably do the...

Wow, amazing pictures. To see all those ships in one place.

Oh man, thats the truth! It's real interesting to have to go blow my nose after sitting at the bench for awhile, and I end up w/ Bondo on the tissue, haha. Made some progress last night. Started working on taping up all the window openings to put down some primer. Sometimes I think masking...
