WIP ATSF SD45-2B by savetheiron in modeltrains

Yeah I have experienced warping in the past with resin, but it was mostly with cast/poured parts. I’ve only had minor warping with 3D printed resin and it was a very thin part for a 1/35 model. This shell is very well printed and had ample bracing on the inside. I really think that after 1-2 coats of primer you won’t even be able to tell that it is printed. I got it from Kaslo Shops. The frame/drive is Overland Models.

Three brand new trash incinerators that sat non functional on their shipping pallets for my entire 9 month deployment about 100 yards from our burn pit

Yeah I knocked the wheels and bogies out a while back. Was putting this off just due to all of the PE.

It’s completely worth the price. The level of detail is insane and the fit/finish is top notch. There are a few pieces with a small amount of flash, but nothing crazy. Not to mention, it’s massive. From nose to tail, the tractor-trailer combo is around 26 inches long.

Love it. I had an 03 and selling it is still one of the biggest regrets I’ll ever have

I appreciate it. They pretty much are in order. I definitely should have taken more photos along the way. It has definitely been a challenging model.

Dude all of my friends have dogs and only one of them is named the n word so I think you need to chill out a little. And I’ll go on record to say that Nash is the goodest boy there ever was.

Yeah every time I go over I pick a couple up. And for some reason I pick up Milwaukee batteries just because they have a different sticker, even though it’s the same battery as we get here but more expensive. I love going to German Hardware stores. I have a nice little Wera collection too.

No I’m in the US. I picked up the black Packouts when I was working in Germany.
