Nice but tall

Overall, this is a very nice unit. The instruction sheet is a biut small from a print fashion, but that is not uncommon with newer electronics. The menu's are a bit strange (i.e. sure instead of OK) which leads me to believe this is not domestically made software.

The only issue I had is that the camera initially sat too high on the car for clearance. I have a Walthers Warren Truss bridge and the camera hit on it when pushing it around the layout. (It had previously cleared a CMI lift bridge), but do be careful of the vertical clearance. I was able to make it work by removing some of the simulated "load" from in front of the mount, allowing the camera to wedge itself in slightly lower. But, I have to wonder if a slightly lower car - such as a depressed center flatcar - might be a better fit.

Great tool!

Good quality foam clay

Unlike any air dry clay I've used .
Very easy to manipulate , doesn't stick to your fingers .
Can be made into paper thin sheets that hold their shape .

Thick sections will take well over 24 hours to dry out ; high water weight when fresh .
Evaporation slows down considerably once the outer " crust " dries on thick pieces .

After 24 hours @ 78 degrees and about 60% humidity , the 3.1 gram sample I experimented with weighs 1.2 grams .
.. and after 48 hrs weighs just 1/2 gram ,, and I don't think it's fully dry yet .

Definitely worth the price .
Very versatile .

My only complaint is the bag it comes in .
It is a zipper lock bag but you need to remove a fair amount of the product before you'll be able to engage the zipper .
It's stuffed full when new .
I fit the bag into a plastic container ( Folgers coffee 43.5oz can ) with an inch of water at the bottom to ensure it doesn't dry out until I use enough to be able to close the bag .
Most likely keep it in that can regardless , just to be safe .

Quality miniature model paint

This stuff is comparable to Vallejo paints which everyone in the hobby already knows are tried and true. I honestly would not be able to tell the difference between the 2 brands looking at a finished model or trying to paint with it. The price is about the same but this includes slightly bigger bottles with a better design on the lid and seem to come with a plastic mixer ball already inside but its hard to tell for sure. This paint set also includes a paint thinner and cleaner for airbrushing. Its really hard to beat the price and value of this paint set for anyone wanting to have a quality paint job on something. I would say its near impossible.
