Hi Paul, I'll get some on the go tonight ..... Yes ... I even remembered the camera this week. More cutting out tonight. Possibly a bit of gluing and folding and creasing ....... I've brought a pad of graph paper as well so I might try and sketch a bit of a mock up. Busy times. Cheers Toto
And enthusiasim as well .... we''ll soon knock that out of you Better stock up on the marigolds, between spring cleaning on the R&GLR and a spot of building planting on Highbridge at the weekend you're gonna be busy. Paul
Hi Paul, I was working late last night. It's reporting week. Hit my bed early. Hopefully be back on tonight. Cheers Toto
Ian.....my dear chap, A hammer is the universal tool, employed by the frustrated and less gifted modeller, to whom all other avenues have been exhausted...... What is evident from the photographs accompanying the text, is that our Toto has elevated himself to a new level of excellence, and one can quite clearly see he has many specialised tools within his tool box. Therefore one would assume, that Toto would consider a hammer these days, as a rather crude tool with limited capabilities and consequently, I doubt that he would bother to carry one in his box of modelling tools and materials. I rest my case your honour. I`ll send you my account in the post Toto. http://www.clickGormo
I still keep it close at hand although I do agree that it is a crude instrument of choice....... but it works. Now, just to keep up with where I am with the base layers for my warehouse ( and to keep the Messiah at bay ), here are a few pictures. they dont look much but they take a while to cut out and there are multiple versions of some of them. Some sanding around the edges will take any small rough edges off. and some more, This is the far rear end which will house a plant room at ground floor level hence the solid wall. Thios will have vents and some ducting etc added. a couple of "specials" cut to facilitate the shape of the available footprint. and tonights task, i need 3 or 4 of these cut out. The above base unit will accomodate the upper floors. the windows are slightly larger than the lower level versions. The above windows / walls were part of the original building ( so the story goes ) with the lower factory walls having been built on as an extension over the years.We'll see if it works out. cheers for now. Toto

Hi Ron, it wont be too long mate. Still to work out a couple of bespoke wall sections yet and the internal support then ........ enter the brickies. here are a few more I've cut out tonight, which when bricked up, will go like this for the upper walls ( original warehouse sections ). this is going to neat up a load of card. still more walls, flat roofs, sloping roofs, intenal walls and supports. who said these were cheap ...... cheers toto
G`day Toto, Ron I think his brick paper is under the hammer to stop it blowing away......Oooops I shouldn`t have mentioned the hammer......sorry Toto. http://www.clickGormo
Just thought I'd do my research on my tools of choice for my mobile modeling kit for fine, medium and coarse versions. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BERGEN-Ball-Pein-Hammer-Set-3pc-Ball-PEEN-Machinists-TRP-Hammers-8oz-16oz-32oz-/131521544775?hash=item1e9f4b8247:g:RGcAAOSwBLlVYycY hope you like. toto
Hi chaps, I started doing some of the brick papers etc ( just for you Ron ) Just a little progress but progress none the less. here we go. Above are the first floor window levels to the extension which will run along the front of the building. A bit of a close up. The production line above. and now for the lower ground level. and another with the plinths fixed along the bottom. and that is about it. Believe it or not that took about two hours. Never mind, I'll continue with it tomorrow as i've not even scratched the surface yet. cheers toto
Looking really good Toto, for your first attempt its comming on really well - curved windows is setting your self a bit more of a challenge. Paul
Wow this is looking good Toto Just imagine a non model train person walking in to Totos hotel room to see all the bits of model wall standing in the clamps I wonder what they would think ??
