Hi Toad, read all the way through as this was my first time to see this.  I cleaned out Hobby Lobby last year after Christmas with 90% off sale all their wooden houses, churches etc.  I bought like 12 of them for $20. Ha!  I painted 1 and shingled it too.  I need to post a pic. of the coaling station I built using that plastic foam board from H.L.  Barry

Sorry Alt. but I don't drink, I am a recovering alcochic so none for me, been many moons.

Custer (EPLII) has to jack with me Alt., disreguard his statements....but it is a place I put up my projects as they happen.

Sorry about all of it.

Anyway this was my most recent endeavor, I lowered it about 3/8th's to 1/2 inch and body mounted KD 920's and installed ball bearing wheels....so It'd match the height of my USA streamliners....

Went to a real print house other day and needed some numbers to place on the water tower and found this nice little thing which is size o in print and they have others. All you have to do is use the old ink pads. I am going to find out if it will work when I shoot clear coat on it.

Great minds...

 I got the same thing, different make, at a 100yen shop a while ago.  I haven't tried it either, though I expect it will do just what we want it to do.  When I get round to numbering I'll post a pic.

Regards,
