OK so I've had a nut for one of these units for a long time. I had an opportunity to purchase one in 1:32 scale but declined as it wouldn't work with my overall plan. Since I have been "goaded" into building rolling stock recently I thought I would make an attempt at building one in 1:29. I'm working on a shell that I would like to be a direct fit over USA's Geep 7/9 chassis with minor modifications. However this plan may not pan out and I may end up making a "Cabbage" unit for my first attempt on it's own chassis. Either way here are a few shots of where I'm at. Materials so far are cedar,pvc,stryene and tuf board@        Last edited by David Russell (February 14, 2010 20:00:21 MST) Supervising Custodian  |

But Barbie and Ken own a Corvette not a VW? So why would you like diesel's?

She's starting well Let's see, F40 in 1/29 = F40/29, so this one would be an F1.3?

Barbie who? Last time I saw Ken, he was driving a mini-van. And only old hippies drive the "peoples car". But what does all that have to do with Diesels  Ralph "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." ......Edmund Burke, Irish statesman and philosopher |

Made a bit of progress on this model considering what "Mother Nature" has dumped on us (snow wise). I have been quite busy and more snow coming. "The Sky is Falling The Sky is Falling"  The Nose would be great if it was an SDP45....I'll fix that later. The lines on this unit even though they seem straight forward are more difficult than expected and there are so many variations of the F40 4 axle unit it ain't even funny. But I'm learning and enjoying. I cannot understand how I burn up 2hrs modeling after work and feel like it was 5 minutes.

David, It's looking great. Are you working from drawings or just from photos? Keep up the good work. Brian |
