Yes it's a model banners

Tue, 2013-12-17 05:59 — torikoos

This website, and some of it's associated newsletters I receive are adorned with a banner at the top, often showing a nice bit of modeling, under the banner 'yes it's a model'.

There's one particular one I've always liked, but it hasn't 'popped up' for a while (despite several page refreshes).

It shows a heavily weathered red non dynamic road switcher (looks like a GP40 or similar), long hood forward, pulling (or pushing) a hopper into the woods on a rural setting and just on the grade crossing.

Shipping completed structures

I travel a lot. When I know I'm going to be somewhere for a while (several days or more) I have often brought along a model or two to work on, usually something like rolling stock that is relatively straightforward to pack securely in an assembled or even partially assembled state. I've never tried doing this with structures, since I have no idea how I'd get the assembled model home without actually shipping it. I guess I could put it in a box with a huge amount of air bags and/or styrofoam popcorn (yech). They certainly don't weigh much.
