Model Builders - Where do I get the good stuff?

[2FastLX]

Very nicely done. I built a house frame once to 1/32 scale and sliced all of my own 2x4's, 2x6's etc. It was a ton of work, but the finished project was really cool.

Here's some pics of my N scale model railroad show pieces...

There are two of these lights in the kit. The kit came in a small box with two brass 1/16" tubes for the main body of the light, and the rest was laser cut into 1/32" brass sheet, and fit into a shape that looked just like a credit card. The blury pic shows the lights lit up. I don't know why the camera decided to do that, but I'm not going through the trouble of trying to light that up again to get a better pic




Here is my current project. This is a Gloor Craft model and is highly detailed. The bracing across the underside of the car is made up of 31 individual pieces of balsa. The brake lines were bent and glued in by hand. The ribs on the roof of the car were scratch built. The weathering is not complete, but you get the idea.
