^ Dude, no one is threatening you. Just capitalize properly like everyone else. Proper grammar leads to more credence on your reports. And trust me, we all know how much work goes into these. Don't you want people to read it, and not just look at the pictures? Poor grammar, like what you've written won't get that. I actually breezed right over most of it because I found it difficult to read. And you might want to check this list, about half way down the page: TPR Mods I think you'll see I'm not a random person here.

It's not a bad trip report. However, we do insist that you use proper grammar on the TPR Forums. Like capitalizing. (Hint, hint)

Since you're new here, I'll be a bit more lenient. But please read the Forum Etiquette thread at the very top. Rule 3, is there for a reason. Too many project threads that start like this, and they never go anywhere. I'm oping that's not the case, but it's a trend that we've all seen too many times before.

^ I was thinking more along the lines of Meteor at Little A-Merrick-A....... Perhaps, I've said to much......

Not sure those would be considered family friendly, as the rules state......

Although I am enjoying this thread, it needs more of Dave tripping and falling over himself, or other inanimate objects. I would also like to see more giant carniverous ferrets.

That could only be trumped by a Sam Cassell sighting.

^ How can you if you don't even have the sandbox file? Has anyone started? I did.

Wait. They don't?

Once again, another legendary comment. You can't compare static and operable models.

I still think 2009 should be spun off into a new thread. That's my two cents. Keep me updated on your IL and IN visits. I may join you on a few of those days.

From the Etiquette thread at the top of this very page: 3.) Do NOT start a thread for a park if you only have one screenshot, or just a Photoshoped logo. We want quality posts and threads. Get your park, or track, started and moving along before you need to make an announcement. I'll lock this for now. If you get started, and have pictures, PM me, and I'll unlock it.

A search of this will bring up a ton of discussions too. Lots of good reading.

Pictures of the Flying Saucers! That should get some Disney nerds foaming at the mouth! Not that I would know any......

Ditto, to Jack's comment, and keep posting here. I love models of just about anything, and these are impressive. I barely had the nerve to cut apart HO models at age 18, let alone scratch build something like your projects.

She helped!

Very paintable. Oh, not trying to sidetrack you, just giving you other options. Your work thus far is very impressive.

^ Gracias! I could not for the life of me remember the other company!

www.plastruct.com/ Take a look at them. Styrene is a plastic. You can use liquid glue which will literally "weld" the pieces together. It comes in tube shapes, flat sheets, just about anything. Check out your local hobby shop, they should have it in stock.

Perhaps both.

I wasn't knocking the use of balsa, just curious as to why you chose it. As a model railroader, I use a lot of styrene for projects, thus my curiousity. I'm more comfortable using it, so I keep grabbing more. Perhaps you could do a test in styrene, and compare the end results? That might be interesting. Keep up the good work!

The bunny behind the glass probably had great big pointy teeth.

New rules guys. If this happens again to any of you, I'm going to serious consider some sort of signature to give you. And it won't be nice.

A well thought out competition. I'll be downloading the park tonight. Can't say I'll finish it in time, but I like the looks of it!

This is how you build a model. Plan, plan, plan. Do small projects to get your ideas fleshed out, then move onto something bigger. I'm wondering why balsa wood? Styrene comes in so many prefabed forms (like I beams, L beams, T beams, box beams, etc.), I would think that would be easier to use and shape. I think it might be cheaper too.
