Amazing!

Hello everyone, here's something from my workbench for my Cakebox project.



Meanwhile, I have been able to finish the lining of the tunnel.

The goal is a functional model of 8 X 8 X 6 inches.

Frame size IIf, scale is 1: 22.5 and the track width is 26.7 mm.

Excellent, Helmut!

Everything fits correctly, just as you designed it. That must be satisfying. -- Russ

[Ray Dunakin]

Well done!

What is the texture or paint on that ore cart? It looks sparkly.

[Design-HSB]

hello, thanks for the positive feedback.
Ray, unfortunately I can not say how the car is painted, he belongs to a series of cars that have been given as a gift.
Although I have used the same base well for a homemade. I suspect there is still some of the gray base color after weathering.

In the meantime, the shell for my BRM Cakebox model has been completed.


For the rehearsal I put the self-built of my BBA mining locomotive in scene.







Everything is to be disguised later so that as a sight and insight only the front view remains.

That will be pretty spectacular when you finish it. Even now it looks great. -- Russ

[Bill Gill]

Helmut, Your cakebox model is shaping up most impressively!

[Ray Dunakin]

Looks great! An impressive amount of work, but I'm sure for you it was a "piece of cake".

Looking good - its got a bit of an ghostly look in the tunnel !

Perhaps a G scale "spook"!

First of all thank you for your contributions.

I've used the weekend to build the model, of course it's not finished yet and especially in the photo is merciless to see where needs to be reworked. But try makes smart and it should go on. So a little bit of color and a little bit of gravel make up a lot.



On the far right is my first attempt to model rocks.

When looking into the tunnel, the wide-angle lens may have created something special, and I hope that I will not be classified among the G model makers. Because the size G applies in Germany, rather rough and my goal is to build in the building II and the goal of building Finescale models.

Meanwhile, the small dioram has been installed in his box and I have made a first light test with RGB LED lighting in the box.



What do you mean too blue or?
