Pete did a great job on that tractor Randy, it looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing it. Nice work so far on the "P.G" lubster's Bryan, cant wait to see your next steps.
At first the orange took me back a bit, but the noggin kicked in and remembered the brighter colors in some stations....the BP badging is outstanding....Nicely Done...
Thanks all. These are great little additions...and now rated G.
Art, you are right about the colorful lubesters. A quick search gave me the color ideas on these. Ken, I should have thinned the paper on the Sinclair sign a bit more. Oh well.
Hats off to Karl for the absolute cutting-edge modeling of those soda bottles. Just when we thought there was nothing new, a whole new world opens. Well done Brett!
I have long admired the O Scale Mill Engine, but I model in HO, so when the 3D Printed kit came out in HO Scale I jumped at the opportunity to get it. After downloading and printing the instructions from the SW website, I carefully read through them several times to get an understanding of what is involved to build this kit. They are very thorough, but was most helpful were the illustrations and name of each part. I also printed some photos of previous builds of the O Scale engine for illustration.
There are a lot of very small parts with this kit, and the instructions call for patience when building it to let adhesives thoroughly dry before proceeding to the next section. I'm not the most patient person in the world, but over the past several days I followed the instructions and worked through this kit.
The parts fits together nicely, but I found after priming and painting some parts I needed to enlarge a few holes and scrape some paint off some parts to help them fit again.
In any case here is my HO Scale Mill Engine. After seeing is in photographic enlargement I see all my mistakes, but it is what it is now as it's completed, except for the piping, which I will install once I find a home for it.
Tom, great job with that. Such a detailed and highly involved model. HO being so small, this really is amazing. I have never seen such a highly detailed piece of machinery in HO scale. Great job. Yes the reamer set to open holes is a great tool to have with these 3D details. Would also love to see a pic of this in the palm of your hand.

We need some better-looking cats! And dogs!
The concrete base also looks 'just right'.
