Good Evening/Afternoon Gang! Another gray and cold day here in northern Germany. Temeperatures did not go over 3°C, which is colder than usual. At least it stayed dry. Flo, how about a mug of hot chocolate, please! I don´t mind if you add somthing out of that dusty bottle over there - it´ll warm meup. I spent the afternoon with my friend Lothar. The critter is now "mechanically" complete and runs like a charm. The gears are quiet, making it a pleasure to operate. All it needs to be complete is the window glazing to be installed, but I will do that after ske stayed a while at a beauty farm for touch-ups on the paint job and some heavy weathering. Somewhere in the attic I still have a board with a length of HO track, so I will give the lady a work-out tomorrow. In addition to finishing the critter, I completed assembling the row of HO background houses. These are resin kits, which are a nuisance to assemble. The fronts were all bent and bowed, so I had to put them in boiling hot water for a while and then try to straighten them. The kits did not have any sidewalls, so I made them out of styrene. They still need inside partition walls before I can give them a good coat of primer and start to paint them. Here is a sneak preview of what they will look like: <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/H0Haumluser_zpsfca08720.jpg" alt=" " /> Painting them will be something - I hope I´ll make a good job! Johnboy - I am sorry to hear about your tumor. Petra and I send you [angel] that everything will turn out just fine! Make it a great day!
