When is the last time you saw anyone giving effort to a BQ23?  My initial base paint color is down, & has a few more color paint coats to go, it is also sitting on a newer 'borrowed' Bachmann chassis, I plan to scratch build one with correct Blomberg trucks. 

She be mighty uglylike, so much so, that I actually like it now...     Maybe...

Show Me Something you have Work in Progress!

How about a Full Moon on the Hiawatha?   There are folks seated enjoying the ride, & a few walking about & in the rear taking pictures out the back.. I added the red tail light, although nextime I will use an eschusion to isolate it from the clear canopy..

A few Astilbe trees and one WS figure and Uncle Tom's  Stairway in Yellowstone looks pretty finished on a simple foam-carved cliff.

Show me another great single tree.

What? a tree? OK...

This one is my stand-in for the end of the small 18" module I shoot all my pix from, it adds to the skyline & the end, on long side draw shots. It is an important tree to me.. 

 

Someday I will model a big Oak or Boxelder that was on a fence-line outside Fennimore, WI [West] I nicknamed it the Joshua Tree as in the U2 album, as it could be seen a ways away although getting there required going many lumpy hills, -losing sight of it from time to time. It was sort of an icon from the IA to Chi-town journey for me..

Show Me Something with the letter 'G' in it...

OK, next time I may not request a letter subject...

Here is a 'cross' buck.. Had to be 'cross' to stand in fornt of a BCR -8 40CM, geez.......

History: Grampa Ryan had a sign on the driveway that said "Cross Dog - Beware"  Yeah, that is where this came from, for sure! As a kid I was always pondering the use of the word 'cross' since then...  Sort of like crick or creek, I reckon...

Yes, Just Kidding! 

And yes, I know it was a recent repeat..

Please Show Me (Simon) a Railroad CrossBuck!

Show me a spar tree

I had to look that one up.   Should be interesting to see if there are any loggers on this forum?  I bet there would have been some on display at the National Narrow Gauge meet that just ended this weekend.
