I didnt know about Little Canada either. Thanks for the link. Should I find myself north of the border, I will definitely plan on a visit.

That is great. I like reading of the trials and tribulations of making the model. And then get to the final picture and can't find a fault. Very nice work.

I never knew about Little Canada. Definitely a stop I will make my next time north of the border.

Thanks! Its currently residing within Little Canada, an animated miniature world tourist attraction where I work. I might do some more, one for my collection and I'm thinking of hiding one in the trunk of a bigger model.

That came out really nice. Is it for a train layout?

Recently did this one from a Busch model I saw at the train shop. Printed the decals myself and painted with Tamiya spray lacquer. I had to sand off the old trim and design/print the new chrome strips on the sides. The steering wheel I did with a molotow pen and it turned out great only to go PING off the tweezers never to be seen again Interior I blasted with krylon matte black because I was too lazy to bust out the airbrush
I put the clear down too thick and caused a run on the passenger side so I had to touch up the chrome strip with a molotow pen. Overall it turned out ok but not something I'd want to keep in my collection. I've hidden it in the Little Toronto Destination within Little Canada

All done
