    My first try to build a Micron Art 1923 Model T Z-Scale Truck. It’s a nice little truck for my "Needle Eye" layout.
    It's just the right time era. [​IMG]
    I used superglue to put it together and with some paint I think it will look rely good.

    Torsa:

    Very nicely done. I've built several Micron Arts kits in N scale.

    I really like the company's products.

    That photo is outstanding. It's an exquisite scene.


    Stay cool and run steam..... [​IMG] :cool: :cool:

    I like those models too, so I bought one of every one they make. I have yet to put one together though.

    Yours is only the second person I have seen that actually put one together so far. [​IMG] Keep up the great work!

    Torsa,

    I always enjoy looking at your layout! Let me ask you, how long did it take to assemble the Model T?

    Since this was my first ever brass kit. It took me about 1 ½ hours to assemble.
    But this was mostly because my superglue was so old and slurpy from not having a cap on the bottle that it took forever to dry. Not 10seconds that it said on the bottle.

    But I guess that with a bit more practice and better glue and bending tools it will go much faster next time.

    I see an aluminum block in the first photo that looks like you started to CNC one of these old trucks? :D

    What are your plans with that Torsja?

    ;) You are correct Robert. Some plans are in development. It just takes some time to find the correct tools and method to do them. When I have something, I will keep you all posted. :cool:

    Great work! I must say that really looks great even without the paint. Thanks for posting the pictures.
