Geep , or GP-40 Chessie in 1/4 scale design by Nicole.



trainf, originally uploaded by Don Campbell Models.

GP-40 – Todays picture shows a front view of the shape I will be making for the nose and cab of the 1/4 scale model. Nicole helped me again today designing more of the shapes needed to get started. Deb and Nicole were a little surprised when they saw the size of the first parts on paper. But it is these large size parts that makes it so fun to build models. There are still a lot of train lovers who still love the Chessie colors and it is my favorite . It’s going to look so cool on the shelf in our living room with a 15 foot long coal hopper car hooked behind it full of jelly belly jellybrans, LOL
Deb wants to know how were going to get this model even in our living room on the floor being over 30 feet long ?? let alone put it up on the shelf, ha,ha.
I told her we would fine tune our plans for raising it later, ha,ha.
RAIN , RAIN, RAIN and more RAIN – Did I mention it was raining in D.C. ? Looks like more rain for tomorrow as Tropicla Depression Nicole continues to move from the south along the Eastern Shore.
Angry Birds- At least Deb and I had a good day of playing angry birds and Nicole is actually doing great on it too. But we don’t want to show it to Bill because he gets obsessed with Games. ha,ha.
Have a great Thurs. !!
