I like modeling ships, polynesian canoes, and implements of war, building ukuleles and guitars, and have been researching my first automobile (1905 Ford Model A) which I want to build from scratch.
Right now I'm focused on Narrow Gauge Trains. Primarily the Oahu Railway which began in 1889 and continued on till the early 60s. I am originally from Hawaii, so thats one reason for the interest, but my last name, which was originally Kapuaalahonioniikealahao, was given to my grandfather who was born on (according to family legend) B.F. Dillinghams private car. Our last name literally means "The chilid disturbing the railroad" in Hawaiian.
I hope you like what you see, and if you have any tips or feed back, feel free to share them with me.
Those figures look great, I like the poses too, very nicely sculpted. Only problem is they all look very American! I'm after some 1/19th figures for some Welsh slate quarry locomotives.
