Here is a picture of both cars, see I somehow messed up the paint job on the first one (the pickup truck)

Well actually it's my second attempt, the first one didn't turn out too well, but this one I'm happy with.

Hey thanks for the link Jon, they have this little locomotive there too http://www.jernbanen.dk/damp_solo.asp?LokID=369. Seems like it was in service until '74 and then donated the museum. I wonder if Fleischmann or another European maker makes something that can easily be bashed into...

he he, I didn't think of that, but you are right. Maybe it is... I will ask next time :)

This one was painted using gray primer and some light blue spray paint I bought at Pep Boys today. It's so much more convenient to use spray paint than using the airbrush (if you can find the color you want), no cleaning of airbrush or paint bottle, no mixing paint, no waiting 24 hours between...

and the last one

I got the 'big 5 cent tour'

me posing with the train :)

Hope you don't mind. I was looking at pictures from my 2003 trip back to Denmark, and thought I would post a few pictures I took of an old steamer at the Danish Railway Museum.

I just happen to have RTS5.0 installed (but have never used it), and I can see that in the "Save As" dialog you can save as *.bmp. So save it as a bitmap, open MS paint open you bmp file and save it as *.jpg. Or if you have some photo sw it might be able to do the conversion for you. Not sure if...

Thanks for the all the info. Actually I knew about that trick to get nice sharp lines, I just forgot :oops: ... I'm currently working on 2 Jordan kits and this time I used grey Krylon primer, so let's see how they come out. I will post a picture now matter what. I'm thinking of painting one...

just noticed that the sub forums has disappeard form the top/main level, so please ignore this previous post. Thanks Jesper

Would it be possible to somehow hide sub forums from the top level?, I just noticed that now we have upcoming event, id badges and 'face behind the name' sub forums all showing up at the top level. Am I the only one who thinks we are getting too many 'sub' forums at the top level? Jesper

and this close-up of the beige car shows where the paint has lifted a bit. It's weird that it's there and on the back, the rest of the paint looks ok. I can't decide if I should strip the paint from the blue and beige car and try again, or if I should just finish them, and just make sure to...

The read car i a little better, except that I don't really like that red-metallic color

Here is the blue car, and as you can probably understand why I'm NOT very happy with that result

Some time ago (after the backup and before the crash) I posted a question about how to paint those tiny Williams Bros HO vehicles, as I had a problem with the paint kind of peeling when painting the second color (white) on top of the base color (blur). Well, after some searching, I got to the...

That is one beautiful scratch build feed mill :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

I think you would have to add some 1/4x1/4 wood strips for bracing on each side of the roof, then add the shingles (on the other side of course), then put them under your pile of heavy books until dry. At least that's what I would do, not sure if it's the best way or not. Jesper

ok, I decided that 5 pictures is enough to give you an idea of how I spend the day :), if you want to see the rest of the pictures, take a look in my webshot album.
