Modelers Corner

Almost forgot why I went to this thread:
Just turned 60 and the wife got me a Lego Baby Yoda.
Haven’t played with Legos since the kids were young.
Both were home for a nice homemade meal, a little cake and some Lego action.
All 4 of us kind of tag teamed it.
Was surprised how fun and THERAPEUTIC it was.
 
What scale is the Winnebago would you say? It looks pretty big from your pictures. Ah I went back an caught the earlier post about it being 1/25

After a couple of weeks of working with brass photo etch and tiny chains and some weathering I'm calling this Panther done other than the machine gun and cupola mount that still need to arrive from Germany. Now can't wait for spring to be battling with it

Working on repairing a water tower I was given for our train. Ladder was broken off and a few other things needing repair. I just finished up gluing the ladder back on this morning.

Had to figure out a way to be able to adjust the in/out of the ladder from the tank. Press fit some plastic pieces I got from a kit that someone mailed to me the other day. Made them a press fit so I could adjust to fit. Once the glue dries I'll put a drop of glue on the inside of the holes to fix them in position.
