He is weathering the DB 50 w/brakemans cab and 2 X sets of DB older design (Mobil)tank cars for me. Prices seem very reasonable to me, but he gave me a very decent "pkg" rate. This is my Christmas present to myself althought I won't have it for a couple of months. Jeremy.

Were you happy with it? - Mark Hi Mark, See here http://www.helmutshobbies.com/db_br_50.htm What do you think? This was a bit of a splurge and I regret only getting two sets of the Mobil tankers but subsequently Will found me three more . Please ignore the white spots in the photo, they are from M styrofoam packing. Thanks for posting guys, ps. Scott has an additional incentive on costs when you puchase from him items to be weathered.j. Jeremy Palmer attached the following image(s):

Joined: 29/01/2012(UTC) Posts: 1,420 Location: Montreal, Canada		Hi Jeremy, My congratulations to the artist. I like the work. I am hoping to learn how to work like this eventually, and use my art background in a different way. I have been thinking a lot about the idea of collecting and artwork as it applies to model railroading and I have to say there is a lot of talent on this forum. Is Scott on this forum? Cheers Mark

It sure is hell being put out to pasture. Indoor plants have to be carefully transplanted, first to 60-70% shade for 2-3 weeks. Gradually decreasing the amount of shade over a period of time will lead to an easier successful transplant. Yes - plants can get get burnt. Requiescat in pace.
