(...) I assure you any laying down of challenges was entirely unintentional ;) (...) Hah! You're going to have a really fun time detailing that one. There's a certain charm to building in the metallic colours. It's like dark blue in the good old (...) (15 years ago, 6-Dec-09, to lugnet.trains.org.tcltc, lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Not so fast, Speedy. Although that is a beautiful MOC (which I hadn't seen until now; thanks for showing it), you've never seen my first metallic silver effect that I built a few months ago. (You haven't seen it because I haven't posted a pic (...) (15 years ago, 5-Dec-09, to lugnet.trains.org.tcltc, lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Thanks, John! Being a sharp-eyed building connoisseur, you not doubt surmised that the "secret" to the roof is attaching all of the 2x2 tiles using only their center tube. The 1x6s are attached using perpendicular half studs. JOHN (15 years ago, 5-Dec-09, to lugnet.trains.org.tcltc, lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Nice! Shiny toys are good. But... you're not the most insane user of metallic silver on a train. That honour goes to Peter Norman (URL) ;) Tim (15 years ago, 5-Dec-09, to lugnet.trains.org.tcltc, lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Whoa, thanks for the heads up. Our tree is in a carpeted room, and I doubt I'll ever run the thing except around Christmas time. It'll probably spend most of its life on display. Sad to hear about the scratching issues, Dave. I will remember (...) (15 years ago, 4-Dec-09, to lugnet.trains.org.tcltc, lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) In-home, floor level use is probably fine, but if you ever run that on a layout you better hope that it doesn't take a spill, or the silver paint is likely to get uglified. I was never really sure if they were painted or not, but recently I (...) (15 years ago, 4-Dec-09, to lugnet.trains.org.tcltc, lugnet.trains, FTX)

Here is a little trolley that I built yesterday to run around the Christmas tree this year: (URL) Aside from the WOW factor of seeing a MOC completely in a rare color, it was a pretty straight-forward build. The only tricky part was the fact that I (...) (15 years ago, 4-Dec-09, to lugnet.trains.org.tcltc, lugnet.trains, FTX) !
