Lots of Updates!

So I know it's been forever... And I'm sorry... But! I have lots of new updates for you! Basically there are lots of updates and every page (mostly) has new things on it! Click on any Blue Words below to go to the corresponding pages.

So here's the list along with some pictures in a gallery you can click through! And maybe a video for you too...? ;)

New Car! 2016 Camaro SS

I personally think this is the best paint job I've done yet, so happy with how it came out! Just a simple snap together kit with lots of factory details! (Such as rear windows defroster, painted taillights.) Check out the gallery for this one and let me know what you think!

New Airplanes! 1/144th Spitfire and YF-23

Super small! Especially the Spitfire, it was hand painted because it blew away with the air brush, and there's no point on thinning lots of paint for the little amount that goes on to the airplane. But great WWII airplane! It helped Britain survive the attacks from the axis forces during WWII and even has been noted for major achievements such as taking down V1 and V2 flying bombs!

The YF-23 I found for like $5, accidentally bought two of them! So one is at work on my desk and one is here at home with me. The YF-23 was Northrop Grumman's attempt to manufacture the next evolution of fighter jet for the US Air Force as the F-15 was aging and due to be replaced. It's competition was the YF-22 by Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works. The YF-23 out-performed the YF-22 in every way except agility, and so therefore the contract was awarded to the YF-22 which is now known as the F-22 Raptor. Only two YF-23's were built, one black one and one silver one.

Major Model Railroad Projects! Complete Remodel, New Downtown, New Locomotive Service Facility!

Yep, just as the title says... I had enough of the first track plan and decided to tear it all up and start over. It derailed all sorts of stuff (locomotives, rolling stock, hopes and dreams...), and I couldn't run multiple locomotives together. So it's been completely remodeled! Check out the HO Projects page for more pictures on that! The new downtown goes along with the remodel, full street running both directions (single track) all the way through town! There's videos of that here.

The new Locomotive Service Facility is great too! I built it from a kit, built the two overhead cranes for the inside of it, and installed custom LED lighting. You can see more of that over here.

OK Now for the Gallery and a Video:
