Steam (punk?) Shovel scratchbuild in 1/20

Post by Andrew Gorman »

There is a very detailed thread on building your own steam shovel at a railroad site:

Lots of interesting use of materials, crafty rivet techniques and a lot of other useful information model railroad guys are so good at. Well worth spending an hour or so poring over in my opinion!

That is a pretty awesome model. I think we should a sticky of links to projects like this no matter what the subject. Tons can be learned from reading that thread.
