Monday, September 7, 2015 at 11:37AM I’m going to need a test builder soon. Just one and needs to be free to build it right away. and supply photos as usual.
I also have something non railroad to test. a midevil tower (actually a water tower but not for trains)
Wednesday, September 2, 2015 at 3:12PM for getting us through a very rough patch.
The dog days 2fer was a success and gave us a much needed boost to cash flow in August. I hope everyone enjoys their bonus kits. If you have somehow not received yours contact me and I’ll put it right.
Monday, August 17, 2015 at 10:06AM I’m going to run a very informal sale for the next two weeks only to the folks who read this forum. Buy any kit thru the usual way and email me to tell me what your second kit (of a similar price) will be. I will email the kit to you. (The enginehouse is exempt, its just too damn big to send) Buy a DVD download and we will discuss the extras. send your second kit choice to this email (tanimate@aol.com)
You have the remainder of August.
Monday, August 3, 2015 at 9:53AM I’ve got a side job building a bridge for another professional builder out of Tennessee. It’s plastic and I’m told its one of the best out there. I’m learning a lot. Mostly how not to design a bridge kit. This thing is a mess. There is no logic behind how it’s built, at least from the stand point of how to make something go together straight and strong.
Also all the flash and cleanup of parts as you remove them from the sprue. Some of the parts are so thin that I’ve snapped a couple during the clean up. Most of the box beams still need to be cut at specific angles. Why not mold them correctly in the first place. I was told 20 hrs to build this. More like a hundred.
I can’t wait to get back to cardstock.
