Here is someone making "real" bricks, actually fired.

Superb models.

Thanks for posting this. The bricks are a nice way to go if you have the resources. The results are well worth the effort.

These kind of people are in a league of their own.

At that level it kind of ceases to be "model-making" and becomes "building in miniature".

Very impressive. But really no more than some of the modeling I've seen you guys do. Different approaches, different materials, different subjects, but similar realism and quality. -- Russ

He builds the kinds of models that began my modelling interest/hobby/career.  Museums are still a favorite place to go and I always look for models, particularly steam engines.  This type, that demonstrates a part of history in a accurate and realistic model, is my favorite.  Of course the steam engine and locomotive were invented by Englishmen, along with so many other great inventions.  Live steam modelling spread from there too.  I figured David for a live steamer before getting to his Dodman traction engine.

I understand shaking a sack (though no idea where I would get one made of a Hessian) ....but got lost and confused when he started in on gears, cranks and toggles.

... hmmmmm ... either try the Hessian appearing in "Sleepy Hollow" (pretty tricky, huh?) ...   ... or take kinda this one ...

I think in our language it is the same as a burlap bag (gunny sack).

Great stuff, thanks for posting.

Irony: In the real world fake bricks are now used, and in the "fake" world real bricks are being used.

This may be yet another sign of the impending apocalypse.
