Hello,

I've decided to have a short break with bricks Big Smile [:D]

and to concentrate on a workshop gantry crane as well as on a manual winding drum.

Has someone an idea where to find a good picture of a chain hoist of WWII I can suspend under the crane ? Approve [^]

Have a nice day Wink [;)]

Everything looks AMAZING! Where can I read up on how you made those bricks? I can't wait to see more.

I agree that the bricks look good, and I'd be curious to know how you did them. However, at this scale, and especially since you can tell that they are individual bricks, there should be some indication of mortar between them. I'm certainly not going to suggest that you get a 1/48 trowel and butter them individually (!), but you might have wanted to consider spraying the top of each brick with a light gray color (or something) to hint at the mortar.

All of this intended as constructive criticism, so feel free to ignore.

Hello Ralph,

You're perfectly right about the mortar. Big Smile [:D]

I intended to simulate it but for the moment I didn't find the solution !! Sad [:(]

For the bricks I just used self-hardening pottery clay.

Hello,

I've got a new digital camera, so, it's a good opportunity to test it on my dio.

I have to work on the hoist as well as on handwheels to complete the job on the workshop gantry crane.

Have a nice day

I'm almost embarrassed to look at my own work after seeing your stuff. At first, I thought I was looking at photographs of the real equipment!

Absolutely beautiful. What kind of chain are you using? I know the scale stuff can get pretty pricey.

Hello,

Yesterday, it was the first time that I I tested the techniques of painting used by the armor specialists.

There's still a lot of work before obtaining the same result !! Big Smile [:D]

[XX], what can i say that hasn't been said. Man, I tell u what, you need to go to Hollywood and take over! I am in the process of gathering the stuff 4 my first dio and i thought "this gonna be pretty cool lookin'". Now, I am beginning to think maybe I better not post anything, what a joke compared to yours!!! LOL, just kidding, if nothing else you have given me inspiration to go that "extra mile"! And b'lieve me it would have to be at least a mile to even get close to you. This ain't one of those "feel good" posts, you are dang good! Man, I would love to pick your brain! LOL. Well, good luck in your future endeavors,

Be good & have FUN,

Bill
