Chris,

Thanks for pulling this old message.  To clarify my ground rules...

1. No painting.  A lot of the value in a Lego element is compromised if it
can't be reused as originally intended.  Custom stickers and tape, however,
are fair game as they can markedly enhance the appearance yet are easily
removed to reuse the original element later.

2. No gluing.  Same logic (well, OK I did it once in Winterthur but that was
a long time ago)

3. Some minor cutting.  Sometimes for the greater good a few eggs have to be
broken.  But only if the resulting omlett is worth it, and they are average
eggs.  I.E., rarely and and only on common elements.

Would you do me the favor and explain how you did the coloring of
the engine?  I have never seen that color.

I would *love* to see some tutorials for how you have done stuff.
Or pointers to the techniques if they are from traditional model
railroading.

Thanks, and they are amazing...I have to get up to Chi-Town just to
see these in person!

Ciao!
