As I have stated many times, I like details. I found this photo, I think on the SW website some time ago and saved it for inspiration. In any case I’m in between builds now and thought it would be a great time to build one. I had finished the wood tank previously plus the junk boxes. All I needed was the metal tank, which I have in my stash. Some strip wood from my supply and other details and there you have it.
Fantastic modeling Tom. I always loved sleds and this was a one-piece resin casting included in the Eureka Springs Engine House. I made hundreds of those and they were very challenging. That dates back to late 1996, yikes.
Looks great Tom. Using sleds as a platform for all the SW details is such a great idea. And these “smaller” builds in between the larger projects keep the motivation moving. The rust and oil really sells it. Nice work.
Thanks for the nice comments guys. A kit would be really neat Ken. Alan, it would be a great addition for any number of logging dioramas. Thanks Steve, yes it’s nice to do a smaller build once in a while.
Yes Brett I have had that photo for sometime. I just came across it while going through some files and thought Hmm time to build it. I sure miss those resin tanks you used to make. They have so much potential.
