Modeling topic

Grain elevator diorama

After lurking and marvelling at the fantastic modeling shown here for quite a while, I think it is only fair to contribute a little myself.

Small Detail Parts for Park Scene

Presently trying to finish up a park or playground scene in HO and was trying to find some small detail parts. Anyone know where I can get a small airplane to simulate an R/C plane? The closest thing I could find in Walthers was something listed from Alloy Forms as a Brass Airplane Hood Ornament, but of course no picture and no pic on the company website.

Building from a painting?

I'm wanting to try something really ambitious (at least for me).  I want to try to recreate in N scale Norman Rockwell's "Stockbridge Main Street at Christmas" for an Ntrak module.  I have permission from the Norman Rockwell Foundation to try, but I've never tried to scratchbuild from a photo or in this case - a painting.

Anyone have some suggestions?

Norfolk Southern GE 70-Ton Loco (A Cheapskate kit-bash)

I really enjoyed the article in this month's MRH (October) on modeling a NS GE 70-tonner. I own a model of that loco from Bachmann, and it got me to thinking about some work I could do on it. Up to that point, it was detailed and painted for my freelance RR, but I have been wanting to find an obscure, short line prototype railroad to model.
