Really, Dave! I am left wondering where you've been, Dave! For your
review...(in chronological order)
http://www.miltontrainworks.com/item_info_1002.html#MTW-1002-rd
(uses flex system tubing, cut to a custom length)
http://www.miltontrainworks.com/item_info_3001.html#MTW-3001-rw
(uses flex system tubing, cut to a custom length)
http://www.miltontrainworks.com/item_info_4001.html#MTW-4001-sky
(comes with custom color stickers, licensed by Skyline Chili(tm) )
http://www.miltontrainworks.com/item_info_1003.html#MTW-1003-rb
(uses flex system tubing, cut to a custom length)
http://www.miltontrainworks.com/item_info_1004.html#MTW-1004-by
(uses flex system tubing, cut to a custom length AND uses non LEGO(r)
string, (selected for it's close resemblance to the real thing) cut to a
custom length) (1)

(uses flex system tubing, cut to a custom length)
Yeesh. About the only pure models I have are 1001, 2001 and 3002! I had no
idea I'd slid so badly, Dave!
Oh, and this little pecadillio:

(pic deep link here: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=216580)
... Well it would be more than usually immodest for me to say it was all my
idea to do a container swap. So I won't say it. Besides it's not (quite
completely 100%) true.(2) But those are a LOT of custom stickers, ne? I am
leading all the clubs astray, Dave! Ain't it great!
Decals are another matter though. All that water and mess and stuff. No thanks.
1 - The string in the render is a custom non released LDraw part that I
developed to model string segments.
2 - Someone else surely would have thought of it sooner or later if I hadn't
done so first, and what really matters is that all the clubs worked hard to
build containers, KK and Rob made it happen at the show and worked hard to
get them back to us, and it never would have happened without everyone
working together. Kumbaya!
