Re: 2017 Convention
Clinics:
I have offered to do a clinic on weathering using Pan Pastels as a followup to my weathering clinics at the 2015 and 2016 Conventions.
Plus an easy to make backdrop for photographing your favourite models... but you have to be there to see it...!

Re: Winter 2016 Challenge - Peter Bowen - Scratchbuilt Freight Car
I started to build directly on the plan - a method which I used in the past when building framing components or the sides of buildings. http://stlandh.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/IMG_2635.jpeg http://stlandh.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/IMG_2634.jpeg http://stlandh.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/0...

Step 2 - First attempt at building Measuring and laying out materials. I like to use Mt. Albert stripwood because it is virtually grain free, and cuts nicely. http://stlandh.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/IMG_2784.jpeg I use the Chopper from NWSL because it cuts clean vertical cuts http://stlandh.c...

Jim,
Well done for accepting the challenge. If you need more lumber I found a good source used by model airplane builders at http://www.slecuk.com/
As for staining the bents I found using shoe dye and rubbing alcohol worked very well to get the aged and weathered wood look.
