Midweek Photo Fun
Posted by SpaceMouse on Wednesday, September 21, 2005 10:05 AM
I haven't gotten much done lately because of a hellacious schedule, so some idle speculation is the best you're going to get.

I'm thinking the front end of diesel chassis and a single 6 wheel truck with an N scale motor. In the tender, I'll put one of the new Digitrax sound decoders and download the appropriate sounds. I'm thinking Batmobile.

Well, since this one's moving a little slow... Here's one from the archive, vintage 2002. It's from the old layout and taken with a junk camera, but I thought I'd throw it up anyway. [8D]

They are the King Mills cardboard boxes I think, they are lazer cut paper, and yes I CAREFULLY folded them, with tweezers and then a dab of glue. I think I did about 20 in a little under 2 hours, I was getting some serious carpel tunnel. I still have about 50 more to do. They look great though, I even accidently crushed some picking them up, they still looked very real, but I wasn't real thrilled [:)]

That guy next to the SUV looks like a slave driver, or he's mad at someone, he is pointing at one of the guys, and from the looks, not happy. What's the story there?
