The instructions are amazing Kooklik. This model will have the best instructions of any model ever. You have set the bar very high, I hope some of the big commerical model houses emulate your example. I for one would not mind paying a little more for a model if it included instructions of this high quality and level of completeness.

How wonderful to see this part of the Big Boy project nearing completion! Your design skills are masterful and your finished artwork and instructions are the best in the hobby. I am looking forward to this one being made available for purchase.

Hello Ron
Your nice words make me want to start to do the engine now. Hard jobs will start again soon in longer way. I promise to do this model to be worth to buy.
Best Regards

Wow, your assembly instructions are a beautiful project by themselves!

Card modeling really should be your profession!

Thank you ArtDeco.
I was mostly doing the model on computer. Last week i started the engine's first part building. The engine also will be a long thread so I want to start a new thread for the engine.

Unbelievable design!
Your work reminds me of Halinski.
