He is finished and I am sitting here in this heat wave wishing for snow.

Turned out great - nice work!!!!!!

I found out bare metal foil sure does not want to stick to flat rusty paint! Had to give up on BMF and did the rest of the trim by old school paint brush. 
Working again with the old Snotex was fun. You can get all sorts of different texture by adjusting the amount of water added to the regular texture.
I had an old dried up 25 year old jar and still was good after a bit of water.
Also found a couple of chrome metal beads that I used for the exhaust tips. 
Now if it would only snow here for real.

I've always been a fan of "Fletch work", but this might just be my favorite, even though a bit milder than your usual builds.
I really like the weathering on the roof. The SnowTex is a good tip, I see they still carry it at Hobby Lobby. (5 min from my house)
Glad you went with the skies on the ft. instead of the tires.

As far as snow is concerned, I've lived in Tucson AZ for 40 years, I can barely stand the sight of snow on X-Mas cards (haha)
but I spent my first 22 years in Germany, NJ and Kansas, so I really did have my share of snow. Was great as a kid, but destroyed me as an adult.
The other day the temp dropped to 84, and I was freezing.

But as far as this model is concerned, I Love the snow!

Hey Jim,
I lived 40 years in Lake Tahoe and I really miss the snow! All this hot weather (100+) is a drag and the smoke from the fires is worse. So I really, really hope it snows soon. Or rains.
Glad you like the ol' snomad.

Good to see you're getting in some hobby time, Mister Fletch! (And cool work ... as always!)
