Looking great Art, kit looks fantastic. You should start a new thread for your build so people can find it easier in the future and see what you are doing. The paint job is coming along so well.
While I don't post much, I am on this site almost every day reading and learning from all you outstanding modelers. I just finished O'Neill's which I really enjoyed building, but also finished up the Ford TT and generators, which I thought I would share as these were awesome builds and look great when done. My hat's off to Brett for these outstanding models, and for those of you that posted to "train" me to do a better build. Thanks.
Of course it would help if I knew how to upload pics. Thought I knew how but I guess not.
Thanks Carl and Jim. I loved building these and have another to put together. My next build will be the Best 60 tractor. Several of you have excellent examples of what this should look l ike, and I'm looking forward to getting this started. I also have about 85 O scale figures to paint and then add to the various SWSM kits I've completed. Then i need to decide which kit to build next. Probably Blue Sky Company but we'll see. Take care.
I love this Karl. I have the same kit but haven't weathered mine yet. I am impressed by the handle on the bucket as I can never get that right but your looks awesome.
Good Evening Ken: Thanks Ken. That is high praise coming from one of my modeling mentors (yes, Karl, you are another). You are right in that I model in O scale. My train is On30. I couldn't even see to build an HO scale so my hat is off to those that do. A lot better eyes than mine.
Hey Karl, I didn't see a handle on my bucket so I'll have to look again. I know when building Brett calls for handles to be put on the paint cans and I can never get that right. Either the bend in the wire isn't right, the wire length is too long, after gluing it comes off. I probably need to work at it more but thanks for the information.

If you're still having uploading problems email me one file and I will let you know what is wrong.

I finished up the 3D parts for the oil change scene recently.
Beautiful details Karl...that's going to be a nifty scene.
Thanks Ken, appreciated.

Thank you both for the kind words.
