Good Morning Everyone. A chilly (for this time of year) 44° and clear with light winds out of the north. Shut the dang door
Chet!
OK! here is a picture of many of the motorcycles that I have been assembling and painting.
The four on the left came from JL Innovative Design and are 1947 Indian motorcycles. The three on the right (2-unfinished) are more modern from DPM. I still have eight more DPM's and three more JL's left to start.
Beady - Thanks for the suggestions on the barrels, but I model more modern times from 1978 onward. By then breweries and bars used kegs mostly. I have a bunch of them as well. Although the gondola idea might work as an abandoned one on a disused spur somewhere.
Ken in MD - Don't hesitate on the wooden structures. They make great models once you get the hang of them. I went 25 years before trying one about 10 years ago, and I am now hooked. My problem is finding enough that will not look too out of place in my era. There are many manufacturers of small, simple, inexpensive kits that I have built; Blair Lines, JL Innovative, American Model Builders and Bar Mills are some of them. They all have their own idiosyncrasies that need to be learned.
Curt mentioned CG Laser which I have no experience with.
Bob - Good to see you return. That makes two guys here counting the days/months until retirement.
Karl - I need you to come by my place and spend a day doing chores...plenty of brown bottles available all of the time!
David - Dang, you certainly keep strange hours. From the time stamp, you posted at 3:00 am this morning! Be careful out there.
Everybody have a great Sunday.
