In proper "Old English", it would be "tometo, tomato". Yup, I agree, that's why I don't model in plastics much. Most of my scratch work is in brass excepting plastic (electrical) insulation. Cutting and fitting and soldering things together. Or wood for structures, some scratched, some milled shapes. Kits are mostly Zinc-Aluminium castings. (ZAMAK) When I build, I shoot for dimensionally accuracy. Most of my models are electrically powered instead of steam, granted. But they are measurably accurate representations of existing (or used to exist) equipment. The item under debate is not to be sneered at, it is quite creative. But there is nothing "properly scaled" about it. It is not dimemsionally accurate, but unmistakably represesents the concept. As intended. . . I happen to like it, but it isn't a "model" as such. More of a sculpture. . .

Bill, Do you have any photos of your trains posted on here? Would love to see some of your work !

I finally found out what this is. These are carved out of pencils. This looks like a carpenters pencil.
A short vid popped up on u tube and had one very similar.

Looks like a redneck tiny house to me.
