Chris, The dark green on the "Kathryn" locomotive is nothing more than carefully trimmed contact paper used to line kitchen drawers. Because she was decorated five years ago, the gold pinstriping and lettering was cut and applied by hand under (...)

This is tangentially related to both groups so I thought I'd crosspost. I understand that the LEGO Studios set contains tips & tricks for making models appear to fly without using string.
