I really like the large scale of those trees and logs, working at this scale allows for some really fine detailing. What are the different woods that you are using?

Any chance of some overall shots of the areas that you posted the detail shots of earlier?

Ilike what you are using for your trees and logs. Very nice.

I do however need to take issue with the loading boom....I know your logs are not as large as the ones in the following images, but I still think they would promptly destroy the boom. You might want to reconsider the construction, pivot and attachment of it.

Hello,

enclosed this photos for an idea of a spar tree and loading boom in1:20.3 on my Wilkeson Creek Logging Co. indoor layout!
It is functional and makes it possible to charge the cars!
It is actuated by two little logs ( near the donkey ).they are used to draw the cables under the rack!
The cables pass by the drum of  donkeys for realism !
Sincerely!

Lloyd

  Lloyd,

  the rigging on the Dolbeer donkey in the last photo is not correct.
The drum you use for a wire to the top of the pole is actually for the haulback wire ogf the mainwire used on the vertical  capstan.
The drum and it's fixation to the sled cannot take much loading into the direction you have used it.
