Getting close, but this one's even bigger.

So big that our gallery don't want to host it's picture.

Here is the picture of the built model Volker posted on FB.

Ta! That will do nicely. I must remember to check V's FB site as well.

Thanks Johnny and Carlos. Those images will help if and when I get to this monster.

I must say that I am being challenged by the small parts on the 1/87 models. Still working on Model 5 (tied up with other activities the past couple of days, plus getting spun up for a lecture Tuesday).

I wonder of those diorama parts will show up as part of the series.

Hee hee ... I'm just lookin' and not building anything at the moment Don. I'm busily engaged in fighting MicroSoft at the moment. My PC has been struggling to install the latest Win10 updates and now they've decided my registered OS key is invalid. Troubleshooter gives me helpful messages like "We detect a valid key for Win10 pro, but Win10 pro is installed. You need to install Win10 pro." If the second reference had said Win10 Home It would make sense, but I HAVE been running Win10 pro since it was updated (free) from Win7 Ultimate way back when it was first offered.

I do have a backup plan though ... There is a new PC nearby that came with Win10 pro installed on it's original build, so if this one crashes out on me, all I gotta do is swap the external HDD archive over to the new PC and retire this one to the spares box.

From the Streetpaper.de home page, click on Facebook.
Scroll down a little to photos.
At bottom of photos is a link ... "Show all photos"
Click on that for a cornucopia of useful pictures going way, way back.

Sounds like a great resource, but I can't get to it since I don't have a Facebook account.

Hope you manage to overcome the Win 10 tsimmis.

I would not trust one of those conversions if someone paid a lifetimes salary. Sorry state to be driving yourself off the road.

Most of the truck and bus RV conversions are done by factory authorized dealers, usually not by the consumer.

their safety record is overall pretty good, most of the accidents are more of a human error nature.

Quick Q? What scale are the large RVs coming out to be?
I saw that the smaller stuff is at 1/87.
