            • Philip nice to see the layout at the top of the list again. Really like the Church and the grass-tufts look good too.

                • Philip,

                  Just getting caught up on your thread. Fantastic job on the build and weathering on the Cat dozers. I love this creative stuff, well done sir.

                  Oh, great job on the church as well.

                    • Nice experimenting.
                      Are you going to keep them that tall?

                      • Philip, nice work on the tuffs. The dynamite shed and boxes looks cool. Is that wire spooled on top of one of the boxes? ~mike

                          It is wound / spooled around a bamboo skewers and then lit with a bic lighter turning them black. The wire was red out of an old appliance motor .010 diameter. It's not really how the reels were originally looked... similar to the military RL-39 reels for commo check. Thanks!

                      • Like Tom, I'm just catching up on this thread.

                        I'm amazed at your Cat production. Great looking models in detail and weathering. This is where 3D printing really shines. Great modeling.

                          Like you results take effort. The cat was a huge undertaking in my limited skill set. Thanks!

                      • Outstanding progress Philip. You have some fabulous ideas taking place here. Nice work. Click image for larger version  Name:	thumbup1.gif Views:	0 Size:	252 Bytes ID:	1023824

                      • Philip beautiful work on the church! The mine scene is coming along very nicely. Looking forward on the tuffs and grass being planted.
