Joe, I always appreciate viewing posts of your meticulous work!

SemperFi · 19 February 2017, 01:22 PM

Amazing work Joe. When I see one of your posts I know I'm in for a treat.

Up next on the bench is the 1930s German ocean liner NDL Europa and the Japanese heavy cruiser IJN Maya

Some progress photos of S/Y Endurance as she appeared on the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition.

By far one of my favorite ships.

Im stopped right now as I'm waiting on my rigging wire to continue

joe100 · 26 February 2017, 03:29 AM

All finished,

She was begging for an icy diorama.

..Holy Sheit....Joe.
I obviously missed some of your posts, much to my chagrin ..
Your work is incredible.. - Such detail in a minute scale is fantastic.
That, .. is a talent, for sure.
Excellent workmanship ... My hat's off to you...

Joe that's amazing, I can feel the icy cold just looking at that one, incredible!
I have to ask, obviously you have an incredible steady hand, do you use a loupe or anything for magnification when you do this?

joe100 · 26 February 2017, 11:02 PM

Thanks! Naw, I don't use any magnification, it gives me a headache

I've gotten back into model railroading as of late. New place, so I finally have space to build a layout.

I chose to model the AT&SF line west of Albuquerque in the 1950s. Steam is all but gone on the Santa Fe in the late 50s but that does give me the chance to run all the great transcontinental passenger trains. My favorite has always been the El Capitan hi-level on the 39 and 3/4hr service from Chicago to LA. Best looking passenger train of all time if you ask me.

Very cool Joe.

I have a Lionel Set that looks a lot like that train. I got it for Christmas 50 years or so ago. You are correct, it's the best looking train I've ever seen.

GradyPhilpott · 4 May 2017, 10:19 PM

Excellent!

AzPaul · 4 May 2017, 10:53 PM

As a person whose thick, clumsy fingers have often struggled with fine, carefully detailed work, feel as though I have a little extra appreciation for your creations.

Hope you keep 'em coming

Seeing the stages of process is fascinating.

SemperFi · 5 May 2017, 03:19 AM

Amazing work Joe, as always.

When I see your work I feel like Gulliver.
