Yep hi Ray.Just looking at it now the top roof is too heigh quick where is the knife.
One thing I am looking forward too is putting in all the structural timbers.These structures are very organic were the structural timbers live off each other.
True.

Good evening all as always thank you all for your interest.
Well, you all know how long it has taken me to figure out this project.
Sandy Hollow and the Acland mine.I had 4 photos and also had to compress the plan to fit my size.
It has taken me at least 6 weeks and 4 rough cardboard mockups but we are good to go.
Here is the scale drawings double-track 1/35 to 1/32 scale I will also make some ore wagons to suit.
All the very best.
Kim.

Kim, I like your plans. They are so much better than any CAD drawings!

Goodmorning Bernard.
Yes my drawings I have fallen in love with Copic alcohol-based markers the sketch variety, they have a paintbrush feature I think in 100 different colors and they have the ability to overlay.
CAD-based modeling has a lot of growing up to do at the moment the image is that you just scan an object send it away and bingo you have a finished item that will satisfy the pickiest of rivet counters, but hey what would I know.

Basically, just a software solution where copyright could be involved.

Architectural models are a good example of purely CAD systems while Hollywood or London is now a fusion.
In the end, it usually ends up being a fusion but for detailed painful objects, Cad systems are a dream.

For example my conveyor system, in my drawing, I have not put in much detail but I will build what is necessary with a CAD no worries. My version will look great but it is my version it will be different from the original and easily dismissed.
As you all you lot out there great modeling have always enjoyed it all we are all different true individuals.
cheers

Yes, love those drawings, you should hold an exhibition of them or put them in a book.  Kim, have you ever seen Clarrie Cox's paintings of historic Australian buildings. Great atmosphere in them and very useful for modelling. A book of his paintings "Historic Towns of Australia" published back in 1984 may still be available.

I agree with all- Superb- stuff all with atmosphere even in the drawings

I guess it's time I say once again, Kim seems to approach modeling as an artist approaches sculpture. Everything he draws or builds exudes charisma. -- Russ

Hello all.
As always wishing you all the best and thank you for your interest fun hey?
Moving along the material conveyor system on 1/35 to 1/32 scale, as the build progresses the finish will be refined.
cheers.
