Good idea. I'm thinking along similar lines for a background. My backyard is rock, railroad ties and bark. And there's plenty of big rock around here that could be available for the taking. I have decided to go for the Shapeways engine. I was going to buy something on Ebay for the same amount of $$$ ---but some @$$#0!& guy beat my bid in the last minute, so I'm gonna buy that little beauty and save a lot of time scratching it. They also have a 1/18 model of the same thing. I wonder if Continental swiped the design of their engine from the Germans? They look very similar.

I know Pah co chu puk is going to be heartbroken if I don't come up and visit him for a few months while we make a video in the snow, but my backyard may work out OK. I gotta send him a PM and tell him not to get his guest room remodeled for my hobby needs.
