If you can get your hands on a copy of Hank Johnston's "The Whistle Blows no More" you will find that he has a chapter of logging flumes. Several photos including under construction and people riding in them.
Norm, I use a lot of moke-ups when I am laying out a scene so that I don't have to have a finished model to see how it is going to look. Often kits have elevations drawings and I make a copy, glue it to some card stock, cut it out and glue it together. Moke-up 001.jpg I'd have to build a lot of mode...
I got the same news flash you did and have also been wondering about it. I went to there web site but all I found was the same photo as in the news flash. Did you find any additional info?
Nicely done, Mike. A friend and I werre looking at are copys of this kit last night and making our plans to start it. We will certainly be looking at your photos as we build.
