Where i am today, all major construction finished, only thing left now is weathering, figures and glazing, which I will be working on this week. Still have a week, in no hurry this year.

I really need a more professional photo booth or something.
Looks fantastic Vic. That motorā¦ wow.
I like your wheel wipers.
If you donāt have a washing machine at home, maybe the local laundromat can provide the proper atmosphere Vic.

Beautiful truck Vick. I love it, is that a Mack radiator?
That came out great VIc. Very classic looking design.

Still fiddling with it, doing weathering right now
Thanks, Yep, I usually have several Mack hoods left over from previous bashes
Calling it done, weathered, figures added, dull coated and glazing added. Predicting rain the rest of this week so no glamour shots until the weekend. Had a lot of fun with this one. Itās one of the very few from scratch models I have and itās given me a lot of confidence to try more from scratch models.

Vic you are a pro. You have scratch built a lot of awesome models. Most breaking the ārulesā. Donāt sell yourself short. You are one of my Devoning inspirations. I just came across my Vic inspired sub 30" diameter logging loco that I need to finish. You have brought large scale to tiny places

Hello Vic, following your build during the challenge. What type of gears and axle are you using for the rail bus?.. I am interested in building a railcar from a diecast 1/24 or similar. I am at a standstill for the gearbox. Do you have any suggestions?
Nice job building that cool railbus. Will we get to see a video of it running down the track?
Vic;
Love it. Still have my Delton Mack railbus. Found out that a couple of lead figures seated over the drive axle would allow it to climb a 4% grade!
Best, David Meashey

Thanks Devon, I still consider myself somewhat of a chainsaw artist, but Iām looking forward to a couple more bashes I want to build.

I donāt know about So Cal but up here in Idaho where everyone owns a chainsaw, I have seen some pretty talented artists make some exceptional sculptures with a chainsaw. So calling yourself somewhat of a chainsaw artist can put you in some pretty high class company. I know what you meant, and I think we all sort of feel that way. Probably a good thing too. I think it would suck if I finally became perfect at it. No room to grow nothing new to learn. That wouldnāt be fun.
Discuss???
Are you hiding a pilot cresting?
If so then perhaps instead of the Angry Beaver it should be the Evil Toad railbus.

's wanna know!
Thats just a bag of my āmade in Chinaā seated figures. I prefer Pola or Preisler figures but there is no way Iām going to pay the $$$ they ask for them new, even used the sellers can still stick it to you. So its PRC and āJust Plain Folkā figures for me
