D. Krakow Auto Repair in 1/87 scale

[Junior]

New pump island.

Got some really neat steel shelves from Dave that are now in place.

That´s a Pierce Arrow truck engine for Mr. Krakow to work on. Will supply him with an overhead pulley trolley as soon as crossbeams and posts are installed. That´s it for now.

Very nice progress Anders.

All that, and HO scale yet. -- Russ

[Chuck Doan]

I know, and I thought O was too small...

[Junior]

Thanks guys. Frédéric I forgot about your request. This picture is about three times actual size with the new steel shelves in place.

PS. Russ...why doesn´t my pics. show without clicking anymore?

[Frederic Testard]

When I see this kind of picture, Anders, I have to make an effort to remember it's not even O scale but small HO scale. You're a magician!
Apart from the modelling, the lighting in this last image gives it a fantastic flavour.

That's just insane!  And wonderful ... and, man, what a load of stuff you've got scattered all over the place ... loads of atmosphere ...

Saw a movie once called "Edward Scissorhands" ... any chance you might be a cousin of his ... Anders Tweezerhands or something?

I like the parts that appear to have been kicked under the long workbench in the back ... and the wood parts bins ... and, well, it just goes on and on.  Really nice. -- Dallas

Anders Tweezerhands   

Sorry, man...

[DaKra]

Last photo is great!  Reminds me of sitting up in the audience in a Broadway play, looking down at the stage set waiting for the actors to walk in and the action to start.   Building skills aside, its a beautifully composed and illuminated scene.

This is really superlative work! It would be impressive in 1/24th scale -- that it is actually HO, even more so.

[finescalerr]

Most satisfactory. And artistic. -- Russ

  Remarqueble, you have set a nice mood. 

  please don't overdo it......  The drillpress needs a good footing

[Junior]

Thanks very much guys - very much appreciated! Jacques the drillpress has not been glued down yet but what kind of footing would that be? Would appreciate your help. Overdoing is easy and temptating but NO more parts in that area....that´s it - less is more. Looking at the parts that I have acquired so far for my next 1/35 scale project I´m not sure at all that it will be any easier. Those parts needs careful attention in terms of painting. Just an oil drum has the same height as my boiler house - not really what I´m used to.

PS. Seems like the band Scissor Sisters or is it Tweezer Sisters - would be a good choice for todays music at work.....
