Great work Barney, very clean and realistic build ........... must try some lego bricks

What are you using for you reference material , is it photos and some key measurements or do you have detailed drawings of all this equipment.

Lovely work as usual!

Just to clarify the scale it is 1:20.3 also known as F scale 15mm to 1 foot.

Hope this helps and looking forward to seeing your progress.

Most of my information is from a set of 5 volumes of THE MODERN MOTOR ENGINEER first published in 1927 (I bought them from a car boot sale for £1:00)these books contain a wealth of information on the setting up of a garage workshop and sections on engine rebuilding (diesel and petrol ) transmissions and general repairs - other information is from machine tool suppliers catalogues which contain drawings and sizes of equipment if its a new type of machine I back date it using info' from the older books and of course a little bit of "Artistic Licence" is also part of the ingredients- the principle of most workshop machines being the same a driller drills holes - a miller mills same goes for the size you get big ones and small ones.
To all I thank you for your comments

Satisfactory. The Lego block looks rather uncomfortable. Perhaps it would be courteous to add a cushion for the poor figure .... -- Russ

That is excellent scratch building!!!  Look forward to more.

Brilliant! And no one would have guessed it was built over lego blocks.

I love your work, Barney, it is remarkably neat. Can't wait to see more of it.

Hi Barney,

Great! When I've built with Lego bricks (long ago), my machines looked somehow different! I did not know that you can build such cool things from it!

[Design-HSB]

I fear if the machines are still treated in color, you'd think they really work.

Barney, the workman figure told me he is much, much more comfortable now. He finally can appreciate the excellent quality of your work. But he thinks you are strange for using Legos. -- ssuR
